-: Very hungry caterpillar
In the light of the moon, a little egg lay on a leaf.
One Sunday morning, the warm sun came up and pop,
out of the egg came a tiny and very hungry caterpillar.
He started to look for some food.
On Monday, he ate through one apple,
but he was still hungry.
On Tuesday, he ate through two pears,
but he was still hungry.
On Wednesday, he ate through three plums,
but he was still hungry.
On Thursday, he ate through four strawberries,
but he was still hungry.
On Friday, he ate through five oranges,
but he was still hungry.
On Saturday, he ate through one piece of chocolate cake,
one ice cream cone, one pickle, one slice of swiss cheese,
once slice of salami, one lollipop,
one piece of strawberry pie, one sausage, one cupcake,
and one slice of watermelon.
That night he had a stomach ache.
The next day was Sunday again.
The caterpillar had ate through one nice green leaf.
And after that he felt much better.
Now he wasn't hungry anymore,
and he wasn't a little caterpillar anymore.
He was a big fat caterpillar.
He built a small house called a cocoon around himself.
He stayed inside for more than two weeks,
then he nibbled a hole in the cocoon,
pushed his way out,
and he was a beautiful butterfly.
I would like to invite families to read through this book.
But have pictures of different foods printed out
as well as, um, a chart of the days of the week.
Then have the children place the correct food item
on the correct day of the week.
