How I would use this book in my classrom:

I would read this book to my students and then do a hands on activity with them. The activity I would like to do is give my students each a sheet of paper and a purple crayon and let them create their own version of a "perfect world". I would as the students to then write what they drew on a piece on another piece of paper and glue it to the back of their drawing. This would be for students grade 1st-4th.

 This book was very popular when I was younger, and it's still just as popular today. This book will take its reader through the journey of a caterpillar into a butterfly. Everytime the hungry caterpillar eats something new, a bigger hole appears in the pages. This allows the book to be visually interesting to children as well as interactive. This is a must have to every teachers library!

How I will use this in my classroom:

I would use this in my classroom during a lesson on the metamorphosis process of a caterpillar into a butterfly. I would also use this book to help test my students prediction skills!
