This is our dear friend, Jason, reading one of our favorite books, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, to the girls before bed.
First of all, the illustrations - just beautiful. Classic Eric Carle-style collage using painted and cut pieces of paper.
Carle cleverly uses the days of the week, simple counting, and an array of eats to tell the story of a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly. The strong pattern and simple story are perfect for beginning readers. And the sweet narrative is just silly and fun for everyone.

Love that book! :) It's also great in Spanish... my husband reads it in his best high school Spanish accent! Awesome!
Will there be egg carton caterpillars in the future??
