A caterpillar eats through increasing quantities of food — one apple on Monday, two pears on Tuesday — before becoming a beautiful butterfly. Die-cut pages let little fingers poke through the holes.
Why This Age
Teaches counting, days of the week, and food names through tactile interaction. The die-cut holes are irresistible to small hands.
How to Use
- Count the food items together on each page
- Practice days of the week as you turn pages
- Let your child poke fingers through the holes
