Over the course of a week, the tiny caterpillar munches his way through all sorts of delicious goodies. Starting with an apple on Monday and working his way through pears, plums, strawberries and oranges by Friday, he leaves a small, caterpillar-shaped hole in each fruit to show where he’s been. In the story, the caterpillar builds a cocoon, and a butterfly emerges. In reality, a caterpillar that makes a cocoon emerges as a moth, while a butterfly will emerge from a chrysalis; various media sources have highlighted this inaccuracy. [50] Designed to support your teaching on the popular children's book, this set includes a caterpillar and a butterfly mask template to help children act out the key plot points and familiarise themselves with the story. These masks would work really well alongside some story sequencing to consolidate children's knowledge of the book. Sugden, Maureen (June 4, 2022).

Retrieved June 5, 2022.The Very Hungry Caterpillar was written and illustrated by Eric Carle in 1969.

What is it like to eat sweets and “junk” food? Why is “junk” food called that? Is it hard to say no to junk food? How do you do it? The story starts on a moonlit night, with a tiny egg on a leaf. On the next morning, which is Sunday, a tiny red-faced caterpillar pops out of the egg. He’s very hungry, so he begins to look for some food. Over the next five days we see him eating through more and more fruit. There’s an apple on Monday, two pears on Tuesday, three plums on Wednesday, four strawberries on Thursday, and five oranges on Friday … and then, on Saturday, he gobbles down an enormous feast of all sorts of silly food: Nutrition: The caterpillar in this story eats a lot of food – some of it is very nutritious (like the fruits and the leaf) and some is “junk food.” Take this opportunity to talk to your students about what foods are good for you and what happens when you eat too much! It’s also a good time to talk about each child’s favorite foods.Molan, Erin (June 3, 2022). "Erin Molan: Storm over classic kids' books is diversity gone mad". The Daily Telegraph .
