"Carle, E. (1987). The very hungry caterpillar. New York: Scholastic.
Summary: A little caterpillar eats his way to a beautiful butterfly in this famous and beloved book by Eric Carle.
Reviews/Awards: Publisher's Weekly 11/3/2003 Horn Book Guide 3/1/1995 Sesame Street Parents- July/August 1994
Curriculum Connection: 1st graders work in groups to create their own versions of this book. Each child chooses a new food that the caterpillar eats, then writes the paragraph for that food. Using the original as a model, the new pages are put together so that there is a hole going through each illustration of the foods the students chose, just like in the book. (This has been done before with a guided reading group of first graders and looks great as a class book.)
"Holy sweet Moses, this book just turned 40. Fresher, brighter, and more beloved than almost any picture book before or since, The Very Hungry Caterpillar is the pinnacle of what most children's writers can only ever dream of achieving. The magic of kids' books is that the recipe reads so simply; all you need is a pattern, lovely pictures, a simple story, and a hook. But, when executed, the cream of the many, many thousands of thousands of attempts rises to the top. If you're not sold on the magic of this story, read it out loud to a group of little kids. When you turn to that final spread of the rainbow colored butterfly, they will invariably tell you, "It's so beautiful!" They're right."
Issues Addressed: the changing life of a caterpillar on his way to becoming a butterfly
Classroom Uses: guided reading, read aloud
Summary: A caterpillar is well on his way to becoming a butterfly. This book captures the story of the change that takes place during the metamorphosis of a caterpillar. No matter how much the caterpillar eats, he is still hungry. By the end of the week, the poor caterpillar is stricken with a bad tummy ache. Soon he has eaten so much, that he has become fat and decides to build a home (a cocoon). Two weeks later, he emerges from his cocoon as a beautiful butterfly.
Text and image: The illustrations in this book are amazing. They go hand in hand with the text to tell the story of the caterpillar. The illustrations are also interactive because there are actual holes in the pictures to show where the the caterpillar has eaten. This really gets the attention of readers.
