Welcome to Litsy!

This story is an incredible teaching tool when talking about concepts of print and days of the week

“On monday he ate through one apple. But he was still very hungry.”

This story is a classic by the legendary artist Eric Carle. It follows a caterpillar who weaves his way seemingly in and out of the book through many different foods. The illustrations are beautiful and fun to observe as well as the flow of the book.

“But he was still hungry.“ This phrase is repeated throughout the book, engaging young readers. It shows the caterpillar's constant hunger as it grows, providing a fun and rhythmic element to the story.

I would use this book to teach the life cycle of the butterfly, learning days of the week, or as a math activity.

I love the illustrations and vibrant colors shown in this book.

This book is vibrant and engaging with pages of different sizes, getting bigger as the book progresses. It is great for young children to become engaged in the storyline as they learn the life cycle of a butterfly.

One of my kiddos had a birthday this week. Can you guess the theme without seeing the tagged book?

There was so much to learn in this book. And it helped me understand where butterflies came from. So glad Lea shared this one with me as we get our nursery library set up.

Does anyone know this eastern US caterpillar snacking on our geraniums?? We can‘t find it on google. 🤔🐛🤔

So life is conspiring to make this spoonie really tired, but I have finished a few books, and they are three of the best books I‘ve read this month. (Two 4.5⭐️ and a 5⭐️!) And while I‘m will to dash off an okay review for an okay book, I‘d really like to do these justice. 🤞🏻 I get to them tonight or tomorrow morning.

I found a classic as a board book. Magpie approves.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a feast for the eyes, and I enjoy him merrily munching away in full technicolour. I feel like Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? is the prequel to The Artist Who Painted A Blue Horse, (i.e. rainbow menagerie) but that's probably adult reading order bias. Still completely in love with Eric Carle's enthusiastically colourful style.

“On Thursday he ate through four strawberries, but he was still hungry”

One of my favorites from my childhood. The illustrations bring such attention to the book and it is so recognizable. It shows the kids how eating food helps you grow!

Question for the moms: what the heck are these crinkle sounding books called? Aquamarina can hold it now and loves it so wanna maybe get her more for Christmas 🥰

Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over. It became a beautiful butterfly.

I love the page in the story when the caterpillar is eating anything it can find like ice cream and cake.

Another one of my all time favorite picture books. The story follows a caterpillar who is extremely hungry. The caterpillar finds a great many things to eat as it grows until it eventually becomes a butterfly.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a children‘s picture book, designed, illustrated, and written by Eric Carle. The book includes counting, days of the week, different types of food, and a butterfly‘s life cycle!

Look everyone! It's finally up! Now everyone can feed The Very Hungry Library! 😁

Once upon a time, there lived a Caterpillar 🐛 that was HUNGRY for adventure. One day he awoke with bravery in his tiny green heart and headed out into his world, with a long path ahead of him. He knew it was not going to be easy, but through perseverance and a big ‘leaf‘ of faith - he would make it to the end! Where his wings would take him far beyond…wearing his technicolour dream coat, soaring towards the end of a rainbow. #parody #ericcarle

I love this classic that teaches so much - the transformation from caterpillar to butterfly, counting, the naming of different fruits - and as always with Carle‘s illustrations, bright and cheerful.

In my search for challenged/banned books for #BBRC , I discovered that this #PictureBook was challenged in Australia for being detrimental to children. Specifically, it promoted child obesity. #LetterV

Here's the entire #veryhungrylibrary as you can see, all Eric Carle inspired.

I think for many of us he opened the door for our love of reading. I hope that by people opening the doors to my Little Free Library it will open the door to a new book they love.

Update... I left it white. 🤷‍♀️

Thanks for the input everyone! 😘

I think I'm done. Just need to seal it now.

Okay, I need your opinion. Do I put the dots behind the lettering or leave it white? 🤔

I'm just afraid that the dots will make it harder to read.

#ineedyourhelp #theveryhungrylibrary #littlefreelibrary

A book that delights all of us!

This is a classic, I suppose, but I don't really know why 😬 3/5 ⭐️

‘On Monday he ate through one apple. But he was still hungry.‘ This is a monarch caterpillar munching away at milkweed. I planted the entire side of my yard in native plants. It‘s quite overgrown and I love all the nature-activity it creates! Black-eyed Susan‘s are my state flower! ❤️

My favorite is probably the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe room, but all are delightful. My son already has an Eric Carle rug in his room, though, so I feel like we're a step ahead on the tagged book.
