“The Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle features a caterpillar who eats his way through a wide variety of food before pupating and emerging as a butterfly. The winner of many children’s literature awards and a major graphic design award, it has sold almost 50 million copies worldwide. It has been described as having sold the equivalent of a copy per minute since its publication, and as one of the greatest childhood classics of all time. There are many free print outs to use with the book at this link from Barnes and Noble.
