The Hungry Caterpillar Turns 40 Today

Caterpillar-sidex I had no idea this colorful character was 40 today.  Why didn't I have this book as a child?  That's right, we didn't have a lot of books and didn't read much.  That's a very different story from how we are with our children.  Here are some articles to celebrate the occasion:

The Surprising Dark Side of the Very Hungry Caterpillar

Once upon a time, Eric Carle wrote a children's book that was so comfy, it came with its own cocoon. Turns out that cute little bug went through a very big metamorphosis.
