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.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a children's book written and illustrated by Eric Carle, first published in 1969.
