The Very Hungry Caterpillar...

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a childrens book published in 1969.

I used to read this book as a child. It is about a hungry caterpillar who eats different foods each day for 7 days, and on the next day it wraps itself up and becomes a butterfly.

I enjoy the idea of the caterpillar being born and then eating its way through a variety of foods, and then suddenly hatch into a beautiful butterfly. The caterpillars journey throughout the story builds up for the finale of the birth of the butterfly. I see the story like a balloon being filled up day by day ready for the big pop soon to happen when it gets too full.
