內容介紹：ㄧ隻小毛毛蟲在星期天的早上誕生了，可是他的肚子好餓好餓喔！所以它決定去找一些東西來吃，星期一他吃了一顆蘋果，星期二他吃了兩顆梨子，星期三他吃了三顆李子......，一整個星期都吃個不停，到了星期六終於鬧肚子痛。星期天吃了一片綠油油的葉子後，他變的又肥又大，它開始沉睡在自己建造的蛹裡頭，經過兩個多星期的蟄伏後，終於變成一隻美麗的蝴蝶。

About the story : In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf.  So begins Eric Carle's classic, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar".   This book follows the ravenous caterpillar's path as he eats his way through one apple (and the pages of the book itself" on Monday, two pears on Tuesday, three plums on Wednesday, and so on, through cherry pie and sausage ...... until he is really fat and has a stomachache ... I bet you can guess what happens then!  The book has a great story and Eric Carle's wonderful collage-like artistry.

It is good for teaching nutrition, counting, science (stages of a butterfly) and the days of the week.
