The Very Hungry Caterpillar

The Very Hungry CaterpillarAuthor:  Eric Carle

Award:  NY Times best seller 2009

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is about a caterpillar who comes out of his egg very hungry.  He eats through a variety of foods including oranges, strawberries, watermelon, pie and more, which in turn make him not feel so well.  Finally he eats through a leaf and his tummy is much better.  He makes a cocoon and turns into a beautiful butterfly. 
The illustrations of this book are so original.  Eric Carle paints paper, then cuts each paper and puts them together like a puzzle.  They are very creative and beautiful.  This book is a classic.
