Summary: The caterpillar is very hungry, so he eats through a series of different foods. When he eats through a bunch of junk-food, he gets a stomachache, so he eats through a leaf to make him feel better. He then goes into a cocoon and becomes a butterfly!
My Impressions:The accolade to Carle belongs to his fabulous illustrations. The pictures are beautiful and inventive, and captivate readers. The story is a fictional fantasy which teaches the reader that junk food will give you a stomachache.
Parents' Guide:No issues.
Recommendations: Little kids will love this book.
