Summary: The Very Hungry Caterpillar is all about how a very hungry caterpillar transformed into a not so hungry butterfly! This book is excellent for teaching numbers and the cycle of the butterfly. 

Idea: I will most definitely be using this book to teach a science lesson on the life cycle of a butterfly. This would be beneficial for my younger students because it is fun and educational! This is also an opportunity to incorporate math into my lesson. 

This book is a fun way to help teach the life cycle of a butterfly and a great way for math practice in lower grades. The book starts off the the caterpillar hatching from the egg and eating all kinds of foods. The caterpillar then makes his cocoon, where he eventually emerges as a beautiful butterfly. I would use this book in my class as a way to review math and for science lessons on butterflies.
