Butterfly Lodge: The very Hungry Caterpillar

Posted by tyan (Singapore, Singapore) on 6 June 2009 in Animal & Insect.

Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar left a deep impression in the boys' minds because a friend gave us the storybook,it is about a little hungry caterpillar which popped out of an egg one night, was hungry and went around eating so much it became fat and big,and later it made itself a cocoon and became a beautiful butterfly!

We even went to watch a puppet show done by Act 3 based on the story. So to the boys, all the caterpillars they see now are called the 'Very hungry caterpillar'!

If you are interested,you can watch the Youtube of Eric's Hungry Caterpillar here:)

Nice Saturday evening to you and yours!
