The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Plot
Eric Carle wrote and illustrated The Very Hungry Caterpillar about a caterpillar who eats through a bunch of foodstuffs before pupating and emerging as a butterfly. The story starts out on a Sunday morning as a red-faced caterpillar hatches from an egg and searches for food. As each day passes the number of food items go up. Monday an apple, Tuesday two pears, Wednesday three plums, Thursday four strawberries and five oranges on Friday. On Saturday he has a huge feast including all the food he had dined on prior and of course he gets a stomach ache so on Sunday he eats a large green leaf before making a cocoon. Two weeks later he emerges a beautiful butterfly.
