The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

Summary: This is the story of a caterpillar’s birth, extensive eating, and transformation into a beautiful butterfly.

I LOVED this book as a child. I would ask to have it read to me every night for a long time. The holes throughout the pages indicating where the caterpillar ate were very appealing. I always loved Saturday reading the variety of food the caterpillar had eaten.
