THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILAR           

    

                     

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is an animated film for children, based on the book designed, illustrated, and written by Eric Carle. The book features a very hungry caterpillar who eats his way through a wide variety of foodstuffs before pupating and emerging as a butterfly. 

Written with a very simple text and showing educational themes – counting, the days of the week, foods, and a butterfly's life stages, It teaches children how to count and to make one-to-one correspondences between numbers and the items the Very Hungry Caterpillar has eaten.
