The Very Hungry Caterpillar By: Eric Carle Age Range: Pre-school through Kindergarten
Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a timeless classic that teaches children the days of the week, counting, and the life cycle of a butterfly. It is also great for vocabulary development with new words such as “caterpillar” and “cocoon”. What a surprise it is for children to see that the caterpillar has changed into a beautiful butterfly. The book has repetitive text, so that children can share in the reading. This delightful book has bright and colorful illustrations that children will enjoy.
