Reflection: Eric Carle's, The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a classic story of a little
caterpillar who eats his way through the week, until he turns into a very big caterpillar, who then makes a cocoon and at the end, turns into a beautiful butterfly. The tactile part of this book is that every time the caterpillar eats, he leaves a hole in the food where he has eaten, which has made this books a winner with young children. The die-cut hole pages along with colorful pictures, large quantities of food and simple text in large type has made this caterpillar turned butterfly tale a childhood classic that has been translated into twenty languages and printed more than twelve million copies to date. This book is filled with early literacy concepts, such as days of the week, colors, nutrition, science and counting skills. This book is a must in a story time collection for 0-4 year olds.
