I liked the part where the little caterpillar turned into a beautiful butterfly because I did not know that caterpillars turn into butterflies. I loved the pictures as well.

I really liked when he turned into a butterfly and he ate a nice green leaf. I also really liked when he ate an apple as apples are my favourite!

The caterpillar was very hungry and he ate through lots of fruits. This should definitely be read by everyone.

I liked when the caterpillar was really tiny, when he nibbled a tiny hole, when he turned into a beautiful butterfly and when he ate all of the food.

I have read that the caterpillar was always eating everyday. I liked the caterpillar because he was all ways eating a lot. It interest me because he was full then went to have a rest then turned into a beautiful butterfly. Yes
