The Very Hungry Caterpillar
By Eric Carle
Philomel Books, 1969.  Picture Book.

One sunny Sunday, the little caterpillar was hatched out of a tiny egg.  He was very hungry.  On Monday, he ate through one apple; on Tuesday, he ate through two pears; on Wednesday, he ate through three plums—and still he was hungry.  Strikingly bold, colorful pictures and a simple text in large, clear type tell the story of the hungry little caterpillar's progress through an amazing variety and quantity of foods.  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!

Brilliantly innovative designer and artist Eric Carle has dramatized the story of one of Nature's commonest yet loveliest marvels, the metamorphosis of the butterfly, in a picture book to delight as well as instruct the very youngest reader or listener.  --Publisher

One day Bear decides he will sing with the birds—he has heard every tune and he knows all the words.  But as hard as he tries to fit in with their song, when he opens his mouth it comes out sort of wrong.  Each creature is different, that's just how it goes, but will Bear ever realize what's under his nose?  --Publisher

I Went Walking
Written by Sue Williams
Illustrated by Julie Vivas
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 1989.  Picture Book.

I went walking.  What did you see?  I saw a black cat looking at me.  These catchy stanzas frolic through the Australian author Sue Williams’s simple, funny read-aloud picture book that tracks a crazy-haired boy’s stroll through the countryside. The boy sees a black cat, then a brown horse, then a red cow, and so on, and before he knows it, he’s being trailed by the entire menagerie! The Australian illustrator Julie Vivas brings the parade to life in lovely, lively watercolors—when the pink pig looks at the boy, for example, the boy sprays off his muddy body with a hose. Big type, repetition, friendly art, clean design—and the visual guessing game created by introducing each animal only partially at first—make this beloved tale a winner at story time.  --Publisher
