The Very Hungry Caterpillar Eric Carle’s classic story begins one sunny Sunday when the caterpillar is hatched from a tiny egg. He was ravenous. On Monday, he ate through one apple; on Tuesday, he ate through three plums–and still, he was hungry. Strikingly bold, colorful pictures tell the story of a hungry little caterpillar’s progress through an incredible variety and quantity of foods. Full at last, he made a cocoon around himself and went to sleep, to wake up a few weeks later wonderfully transformed into a butterfly!
