Author Profile- Eric Carle
The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Very Quiet Cricket, and The Grouchy Lady Bug are all written by Eric Carle. I know we've all at least read of one of these books. The one that sticks out to me in The Very Hungry Caterpillar. This great children's book contains wonderful inllustrations of the caterpillar and all of the food he eats. This book not only shows how the caterpillar turns into a butterfly, but it also promotes counting and the days of the week. For ex: "on monday the caterpillar ate 1 apple, on tuesday the caterpillar ate 2 pears, on wednesday the caterpillar ate 3 plums...etc. This book is a all time great and will continue to please children for many more years to come.
