The Very Hungry Caterpillar Ppt Free Download
Marin Brickle
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 on: one piece of chocolate cake, an ice-cream cone, a pickle, one slice of Swiss cheese, a slice of salami, a lollipop, a piece of cherry pie, a sausage, a cupcake and a slice of watermelon. Later that night, he gets a stomach ache.
The following Sunday, the very hungry caterpillar eats a green leaf. Now "big and fat", he builds a cocoon around himself and stays inside of it for more than two weeks. After, he nibbles a hole and pushes his way out, emerging as a large, multi-colored butterfly.
The plot originated as a story called A Week with Willi the Worm, which featured a bookworm named Willi. Carle was inspired to write the story after using a hole punch that made him think of a worm.[3] Ann Beneduce, Carle's editor, advised him that a green worm would not make a likable protagonist, instead recommending a caterpillar.[4][5]
In the story, the caterpillar builds a cocoon, and a butterfly emerges. In reality, a caterpillar that makes a cocoon emerges as a moth, while a butterfly will emerge from a chrysalis; various media sources have highlighted this inaccuracy.[47]
"And here's my unscientific explanation: My caterpillar is very unusual. As you know caterpillars don't eat lollipops and ice cream, so you won't find my caterpillar in any field guides. But also, when I was a small boy, my father would say, "Eric, come out of your cocoon." He meant I should open up and be receptive to the world around me. For me, it would not sound right to say, "Come out of your chrysalis." And so poetry won over science!"[48]
The movement of the caterpillar through different scenes is circular: we start in the natural environment, then proceed through a parade of processed goods, perhaps from a picnic, supermarket or pantry: chocolate cake, pickle, salami, watermelon, etc. It is not explained how the caterpillar discovered or negotiated a frozen ice cream cone (did he gain access to a freezer?), and made an exact hole through its centre without being trapped in a quagmire of sweet, melted dairy goods. Carle knows when to show and when to tell.
Carle originally intended for the protagonist to be a bookworm called Willi, but the editor thought a caterpillar would be more relatable. Carle agreed, in particular for the opportunity to include a butterfly in the narrative. This caterpillar is insatiable, driven, and not easily deterred by the magnitude of his task: to eat his way to what first looks like oblivion, but what transpires as redemptive transformation.
Very intriguing. The caterpillar antennae is reminiscent of the osmeterium found in Papilionidae, though the body segments remind me of a Saturniidae caterpillar, similar to an Antheraea polyphemus. The pupa, with the cremaster hanging down in that manner is akin to the Nymphalidae, though the pupa itself is more moth-like. The beautiful wings are reminiscent of the dazzling sunset moths in Uraniidae, while the downturned antennae refer to Nymphalidae too, specifically Danainae and some Satyrinae too (Papilionidae antennae hook upwards).
This all-time favorite not only follows the very hungry caterpillar as it grows from egg to cocoon to beautiful butterfly, but also teaches the days of the week, counting, good nutrition and more. Striking pictures and cleverly die-cut pages offer interactive fun.
A very hungry newborn caterpillar eats his way through the week through fruits and delicious treats until he gets a stomachache. He eats a green leaf to sooth his stomach and spins a chrysalis for himself. After two weeks, he emerges from his cocoon as a beautiful butterfly.
A spider, blown by the wind lands on a farm. She decides to spin a web. While spinning, she is visited by several curious and playful farm animals who ask her to participate in various activities. The spider remains focused, busy spinning on her web. She completes her beautiful web which promptly catches a fly. The spider falls asleep after a very busy day.
Mister Seahorse is a soon-to-be father who promises Mrs. Seahorse that he will do a very good job of carrying and protecting their eggs. After laying the eggs in his pouch, he swims through the ocean and meets other curious marine fathers who are caring for their eggs.

One day, respected educator and author, Bill Martin Jr, called to ask Carle to illustrate a story he had written. Martin's eye had been caught by a striking picture of a red lobster that Carle had created for an advertisement. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? was the result of their collaboration. It is still a favorite with children everywhere. This was the beginning of Eric Carle's true career. Soon Carle was writing his own stories, too. His first wholly original book was 1,2,3 to the Zoo, followed soon afterward by the celebrated classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
THE all-time classic picture book, from generation to generation, sold somewhere in the world every 30 seconds! A sturdy and beautiful book to give as a gift for new babies, baby showers, birthdays, and other new beginnings!
Born in Syracuse, New York, in 1929, Eric Carle moved with his parents to Germany when he was six years old; he was educated there, and graduated from the prestigious art school, the Akademie der bildenden Kunste, in Stuttgart. But his dream was always to return to America, the land of his happiest childhood memories. So, in 1952, with a fine portfolio in hand and forty dollars in his pocket, he arrived in New York. Soon he found a job as a graphic designer in the promotion department of The New York Times. Later, he was the art director of an advertising agency for many years.One day, respected educator and author, Bill Martin Jr, called to ask Carle to illustrate a story he had written.

His first wholly original book was 1,2,3 to the Zoo, followed soon afterward by the celebrated classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.Eric Carle's art is distinctive and instantly recognizable. His art work is created in collage technique, using hand-painted papers, which he cuts and layers to form bright and cheerful images. Many of his books have an added dimension - die-cut pages, twinkling lights as in The Very Lonely Firefly, even the lifelike sound of a cricket's song as in The Very Quiet Cricket - giving them a playful quality: a toy that can be read, a book that can be touched. Children also enjoy working in collage and many send him pictures they have made themselves, inspired by his illustrations. He receives hundreds of letters each week from his young admirers. The secret of Eric Carle's books' appeal lies in his intuitive understanding of and respect for children, who sense in him instinctively someone who shares their most cherished thoughts and emotions.The themes of his stories are usually drawn from his extensive knowledge and love of nature - an interest shared by most small children. Besides being beautiful and entertaining, his books always offer the child the opportunity to learn something about the world around them. It is his concern for children, for their feelings and their inquisitiveness, for their creativity and their intellectual growth that, in addition to his beautiful artwork, makes the reading of his books such a stimulating and lasting experience.Carle says: "With many of my books I attempt to bridge the gap between the home and school. To me home represents, or should represent; warmth, security, toys, holding hands, being held. School is a strange and new place for a child. Will it be a happy place? There are new people, a teacher, classmates - will they be friendly? I believe the passage from home to school is the second biggest trauma of childhood; the first is, of course, being born. Indeed, in both cases we leave a place of warmth and protection for one that is unknown. The unknown often brings fear with it. In my books I try to counteract this fear, to replace it with a positive message. I believe that children are naturally creative and eager to learn. I want to show them that learning is really both fascinating and fun."copyright 2000 by Penguin Group (USA) Books for Young Readers. All rights reserved.Hometown:
One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and-pop!-out of the egg came a tiny and very hungry caterpillar. He started to look for some food. On Monday he ate through one apple. But he was still hungry. He started to look for some food. On Tuesday he ate through two pears, but he was still hungry. He started to look for some food. On Wednesday he ate through three plums, but he was still hungry. He started to look for some food. On Thursday he ate through four strawberries, but he was still hungry. On Friday he ate through five oranges, but he was still hungry. On Saturday he ate through one piece of chocolate cake, one ice-cream cone, one pickle, one slice of Swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake, and one slice of watermelon. That night he had a stomachache! The next day was Sunday again. The caterpillar ate through one nice green leaf, and after that he felt much better. Now he wasn't hungry any more-and he wasn't a little caterpillar any more. He was a big, fat caterpillar. He built a small house, called a cocoon, around himself. He stayed inside for more than two weeks. Then he nibbled a hole in the cocoon, pushedhis way out and ... he was a beautiful butterfly! Continues...
