The Very Hungry Catepillar

This book was wonderful! The book is basically chronologically following the life of this little catepillar. In the beginning of the book he is small but he has a big appetitie. He goes on throughout the week eating more than the day before and continues this throughout the week. When he finally gets to Sunday he is so big and he has a stomach ache. He thinks that by eating through some leaves will make him feel better. When he does he sees that his stomach ache continues.

He later starts to grow a cacoon because he is in the proccess of becoming a butterfly. Finally at the end of the book he becomes a very beautiful butterfly. The way the book is set up is very fun. The illustrations are basically the book. It tells the story even if the words had not been there.
