The Very Hungry Caterpillar tells the story of a caterpillar that eats through different foods on each day of the week as it searches to satisfy its hunger. By Saturday, the caterpillar has eaten through one of everything offered. That night it has a stomachache, but after eating a leaf on Sunday it feels better. The caterpillar then builds a cocoon where it stays for two weeks before emerging as a beautiful butterfly.

a little egg lay on a leaf

3. One Sunday morning
the warm sun came up

came a tiny and very
hungry caterpillar.

4. He started to look
for some food

He ate through
one apple.
But he was still
hungry

two pears,

Much better!

13. Now he wasn’t hungry any more – and he wasn’t a little
caterpillar any more.
He was a big , fat caterpillar.

around himself. He stayed inside for more

in the cocoon, pushed his way out and…..
