The story of a very small and very hungry caterpillar. He eats one apple on Monday, Two pears on Tuesday, three plums on Wednesday, four strawberries on Thursday, five oranges on Friday, and on Saturday he has an enormous feast. The Caterpillar grows from a small egg to a beautiful butterfly and at the same time manages to nibble his way through the pages of the book!
It really loses its effect without the book with the hole in it though

.....ma_tt_00.....Gave you the condensed version..........
Below is the whole story.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar: The Story
The story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a simple one that emphasizes numbers and days of the week. The caterpillar is not only very hungry, but he also has unusual tastes in food, ones that delight children. After popping out of an egg on Sunday, the very hungry caterpillar eats holes through the book's pages as he eats his way through a variety of foods, beginning with one apple on Monday and two pears on Tuesday and ending with five oranges on Friday and 10 different foods on Saturday (chocolate cake, ice cream, a pickle, Swiss cheese, salami, a lollipop, cherry pie, sausage, a cupcake, and watermelon).
Not surprisingly, the very hungry caterpillar ends up with a stomach ache.
Fortunately, a serving of one green leaf helps.
The now very fat caterpillar builds a cocoon.
After staying in it for two weeks, he nibbles a hole in the cocoon and emerges a beautiful butterfly.
For an entertaining explanation of why his caterpillar comes out of a cocoon rather than a chrysalis, see Eric Carle's Web site.

This is a useful site for related activities.

You might be able to print out a sample paper booklet (cut out your own holes) from the 'excerpt' or 'surprise me' links of the amazon.com site for either the Very Hungry Caterpillar or la Oruga muy hambrienta'.

I think that these are the things he ate on Saturday. But I can't remember the correct order and I can't seem to find my book either. He ate a pickle, sausage, watermellon, salami, pie, cupcake, cheese, ice cream, cake, and lollipop.
