What Picture Book Has Touched Your Life?

The Very Hungry Caterpillar, a picture book that is well known until this day, is one that I enjoyed as a child. I recall this book featuring distinctive collage illustrations and was eye catching to the reader. This picture book also consisted of great educational themes such as: counting, the days of the week, foods, and a butterfly’s life stages. I also believe this book is great for young children because it introduces concepts regarding life stages where transformations take place, in this case from a “hungry caterpillar” to a “beautiful butterfly.” Teachers can also use this book and incorporate different concepts into their lessons as well as create several activities to implement what has been taught. Truly, The Very Hungry Caterpillar is one of my greatest childhood classics of all time.
