The Very Hungry

Caterpillar by Eric Carle

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.

I’m so

HUNGRY!

On Monday he ate through 1 apple.

But he was still hungry.

On Tuesday he ate through 2 pears, but he was still hungry.

On Wednesday he ate through 3 plums, but he was still hungry.

On Thursday he ate through 4 strawberries, but he was still hungry.

On Friday he ate through 5 oranges, but

he was still hungry.

On Saturday he ate through 1 piece of chocolate cake,

1 icecream cone

1 pickle,

One slice of Swiss cheese,

1 slice of salami

1 lollipop,

1 piece of cherry pie,

1 sausage,

1 cupcake,

And 1 slice of watermelon.

That night he had a stomachache!

The very hungry Caterpillar then ate through one green leaf. He started to feel better.

Now, the caterpillar was no longer small. He was a big, fat, caterpillar.

A BEAUTIFUL

BUTTERFLY!
