The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Title: The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Author/Illustrator: Eric Carle
Genre: Non Fiction

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is about a tiny caterpillar that is very hungry and seems to eat everything in sight and nothing fulfills his hunger. As the story goes on and the caterpillar eats and eats and eats, he finally stops eating and goes up into a tree and time goes by and the now chubby caterpillar is breaking out of its cocoon and becoming a beautiful butterfly.

I would teach this to a first grade classroom. I would use this book as a science project and get a real caterpillar so they can see the process actually develop in real life! I think this would be a really fun project to do for a first grade classroom, or any elementary grade level at that.
