Description

One sunny Sunday, the caterpillar hatched from a tiny egg. He was very hungry. On Monday, he ate through one apple; on Tuesday, he ate through three plums — and still he was hungry. When full at last, he made a cocoon around himself and went to sleep, to wake up a few weeks later wonderfully transformed into a butterfly!

The brilliantly innovative Eric Carle has dramatized the story of one of nature's commonest yet loveliest marvels, the metamorphosis of the butterfly.
