Description
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle is a children’s book about caterpillar and his diet that teaches counting skills. The book is written for ages 2-4, but has also been adapted for other readers and age groups. The story follows a hungry caterpillar who eats his way to becoming a butterfly after consuming food from each of the following categories: eggs, fruit juice, cherry pie, ice cream cone and more.
As the Very Hungry Caterpillar eats its way through these everyday foods, it progresses through the numbers in sequence until it reaches 9 which is the number of segments on an adult butterfly’s wings.
