In this video, Educator Jo reads the children's book The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.
"On an early Sunday morning, "a tiny and very hungry caterpillar" hatches from his egg and searches for something to eat. For the following five days, Monday through Friday, the very hungry caterpillar eats through an increasing quantity of fruit: one apple on Monday, two pears on Tuesday, three plums on Wednesday, four strawberries on Thursday, and five oranges on Friday. Each day, however, the caterpillar is still hungry. On Saturday, he feasts, eating a piece of chocolate cake, a strawberry ice cream cone, a pickle, a slice of Swiss cheese, a slice of salami, a lollipop, a piece of cherry pie, a sausage, a cupcake and a slice of watermelon. That night, he gets a stomach ache from overeating.
To recover from Saturday's stomach ache, the very hungry caterpillar eats one green leaf on Sunday, and feels much better. However, he is no longer little and hungry; he is now a "big and fat" caterpillar. He builds a cocoon around himself and stays inside of it for two weeks, after which he nibbles a hole and pushes his way out, emerging as a large, multi-colored butterfly." - Wikipedia
