The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Author: Eric Carle
Illustrator: Eric Carle
Publisher: Puffin
In this picture book classic, an increasingly portly caterpillar chomps his way through an astonishing diet of fruit, cheese, cake, pie and other assorted food, his progress tracked for the reader by a series of holes. Eventually he builds a cocoon and emerges as a butterfly. A story about growth and change with a supportive text for beginner readers, exemplified by the repeated phrase ‘but he was still hungry’.
