Book Description: The life of a very hungry caterpillar who later emerges as a butterfly.
Integrated Idea: Draw a picture of your face, the teacher will cut each student's picture and create a giant caterpillar with the class. This will be put up above the board so that the children can see it at all times. Explain to them that they too are hungry but not for leaves, but for learning. Eventually they will turn into butterflies at the end of the school year. Then you can read the story again and take a new picture and make a butterfly.
