V is for...my son's favorite book :)

And one my daughter liked a lot, too. And probably most children in the world: The Very Hungry Caterpillar!

This is such an adorable book! The artwork is amazing, just as all of Eric Carle's work. But the story is adorable too. My little one just turned 4 and he pretty much knows it by heart. He loves to "read" it to me. :)

We recently went to a butterfly conservatory and they have a little "nursery" window where guests can see all the cocoons hanging in various stages of metamorphosis. I loved that my son knew exactly why the cocoons were hanging like that and what was going on...all thanks to The Very Hungry Caterpillar!
