Summary: This story is about a little egg that turns into a caterpillar. When the caterpillar is hatched he is very hungry so he starts looking for some food. He eats through an apple, two pears, three plums, four strawberries, and five oranges, but he finds that he is still hungry; so he eats through a bunch more food. After he eats everything he is no longer hungry and he is a big, fat caterpillar. He builds a cocoon around himself and stays inside for more than two weeks. After that he nibbles himself out of the cocoon, and when he comes out he is a big, beautiful butterfly!
My Reaction to the Book: I really liked this book; it was very simple but enjoyable. The illustrations are beautiful and very colorful.
Potential Problems: There are not any problems with this book; it is designed for young children so it’s very simple and without any problems.
Recommendations: I would recommend this book to anyone with young children. It is a good, short story for children to read. The pictures really capture the attention of children, which creates a chance for the child to learn.
