Summary:
The very hungry caterpillar is tearing through any food he can find! He continues to eat and eat and eat and many children may think "why is he so greedy?" It turns out that surprise! The caterpillar is beginning the changes to become a butterfly!
About the Author: Eric Carle
A Syracuse native, Eric Carle is also a famous illustrator. He has made contributions to Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See? and other Bill Martin Jr. books. Picking out an Eric Carle book is not hard, because of his unique type of artwork. His style is easy for children to relate to because it looks like a collage or cut out tissue paper.
Theme/Skill: Colors, Foods, Fiction, Bugs, Science
Grade Level: Pre-K-2
Activities:
This book could be a short unit in itself. Emergent readers could be exposed to foods, their nutrition groups, sequencing the story and identifying new foods.
Reflection:
When I was working at a daycare a few years ago, so many classrooms based their room theme around an Eric Carle book. This book was by far my favorite. All the students had a different fruit and then they had a circle in a picture to connect and make the caterpillar. Great ideas!
