The Very Hungry Caterpiller

We went with Anne Drew and Little Drew and my parents to a very nice presentation on Saturday at the Theater in Mamaroneck.  The play was book adadptation of Eric Carl done to puppets.  His most famous work is The Very Hungry Caterpiller.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a children's book written by Eric Carle, originally published in 1969. It is highly popular and has been praised for its use of easy-to-read words which makes it good for teaching young children to read. The book contains 225 words and large, colorful illustrations. It follows a caterpillar as it munches its way through a variety of edibles such as ice cream, salami, watermelon, one slice of Swiss cheese, and a lollipop before it finally pupates and emerges as a butterfly. The story teaches the life cycle of a butterfly, counting to 5, the names of the days of the week, and about different types of food. It is one of the best-selling books of all time with over 25 million copies in print
