The very hungry caterpillar
by Eric Carle
In the light of the moon a little _ egg lays on a leaf . One Sunday morning the warm sun comes up and – pop! – out of the egg comes a tiny and very hungry caterpillar . He starts to look for some _ food. On Monday he eats one apple, but he is still hungry___. On Tuesday he eats two pears, but he is still hungry. On Wednesday he eats three plums, but he is still hungry. On Thursday he eats four strawberries, but he is still hungry. On Friday he eats five oranges, but he is still hungry. On Saturday he eats one piece of chocolate cake , one ice cream, one pickle, one slice of cheese, one slice of salami , one lollipop, one piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake, and one slice of watermelon. That night he has stomachache ! On Sunday the caterpillar eats one nice green leaf, and he feels much better. Now he isn’t hungry– and he isn’t a little caterpillar. He is a big fat caterpillar. He builds a small house, called a cocoon. He stays in the cocoon more than two weeks. Then he comes out………and…... ………..he is a beautiful butterfly!
The Gruffalo
by Julia Donaldson
A mouse took a stroll through a deep dark wood. A fox saw a mouse and the mouse looked good. “Where are you going to, little brown mouse? Come and have lunch in my underground house.” “It’s terribly kind of you, fox, but no – I’m going to have lunch with a gruffalo.” “A gruffalo? What’s a gruffalo?” “A gruffalo! Why didn’t you know? He has terrible tusks, and terrible claws, and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws.” “Where are you meeting him?”“Here, by these rocks, and his favorite food is roasted fox!” “Roasted fox! I’m off!” Fox said. “Goodbye, little mouse,” and away he sped. “Silly old fox! Doesn’t he know, there’s no such thing as a gruffalo?” On went the mouse through the deep dark wood. An owl saw the mouse and the mouse looked good. Where are you going, little brown mouse? Come and have tea in my tree top house.” “It’s frightfully nice of you, Owl, but no - I am going to have tea with a gruffalo.” “A gruffalo? What’s a gruffalo?” “A gruffalo! Why didn’t you know? He has knobbly knees, and turned out toes, and a poisonous wart at the end of his nose.” “Where are you meeting him?”“Here, by this stream, and his favorite food is owl ice cream!” “Owl Ice cream? Too whit – toowhoo! Goodbye, little mouse,” and away Owl flew “Silly old owl! Doesn’t he know, there’s no such thing as a gruffalo?” On went the mouse through the dark deep wood. A snake saw the mouse and the mouse looked good. “Where are you going to, little brown mouse. Come for a feast in my logpile house.” “It’s wonderfully good of you, Snake, but no - I’m having a feast with a gruffalo.” “A gruffalo? What’s a gruffalo?” “A gruffalo! Why didn’t you know? His eyes are orange, his tongue is black; he has purple prickles all over his back.” “Where are you meeting him?”“Here, by this lake, and his favorite food is scrambled snake!” “Scrambled snake! It’s time I hid! Goodbye, little mouse,” and away Snake slid. “Silly old snake! Doesn’t he know, there’s no such thing as a gruffalo…oh” But who is this creature with terrible claws And terrible teeth in his terrible jaws? He has knobbly knees and turned-out toes And a poisonous wart at the end of his nose. His eyes are orange, his tongue is black; He has purple prickles all over his back. “Ohh help! Oh no! It’s a gruffalo!” “My favorite food!” the Gruffalo said. “You’ll taste good on a slice of bread!” “Good?” said the mouse. “Don’t call me good! I’m the scariest creature in this wood. Just walk behind me and soon you’ll see, Everyone is afraid of me!” “All right,” said the Gruffalo, bursting with laughter. “You go ahead and I’ll follow after!” They walked and they walked and the Gruffalo said, “I hear a hiss in the leaves ahead.” “It’s snake,” said the mouse. “Why, Snake, hello!” Snake took one look at the Gruffalo. “Oh crumbs!” he said, “Goodbye little mouse,” And off he slid to his logpile house. “You see?” said the mouse. “I told you so.” “Amazing!” said the Gruffalo. They walked some more till the Gruffalo said, “I hear a hoot in the trees ahead.” “It’s owl,” said the mouse. “Why, Owl, hello,!” Owl took one look at the Gruffalo. “Oh dear!” he said, “Goodbye, little mouse,” And off he flew to his treetop house. “You see?” said the mouse. “I told you so.” “Astounding!” said the Gruffalo. They walked some more till the Gruffallo said, “I can hear feet on the path ahead.” “It’s Fox,” said the mouse. “Why, Fox, hello!” Fox took one look at the Gruffalo. “Oh help!” he said, “Goodbye little mouse,” and off he ran to his underground house. “Well, Gruffalo,” said the mouse. “You see? EVERYONE is afraid of me! But now my tummy’s beginning to rumble MY favorite food is Gruffalo crumble!” “Gruffalo crumble!” the Gruffalo said, and quick as the wind he turned and fled. All was quiet in the deep dark wood. The mouse found a nut and the nut was good.

Monkey Puzzle
by Julia Donalson
“I`ve lost my mum!”, said Monkey. “Hush, little monkey, don`t you cry. I`ll help you to find her,” said butterfly. “Let`s have a think. How big is she?” “She`s big!” said the monkey. Bigger than me.” “Bigger than you? Than I`ve seen your mum. Come, little monkey, come, come, come.”
“No, no, no! That`s an elephant. “My mum isn`t a great grey hunk. She hasn`t got tusk or a curly trunk. She doesn`t have great thick buggy knees. And anyway, her tail coils round the trees.” “She coils round the trees? Than she`s very near. Quick, little monkey! She`s over here.”
“No, no, no! That`s a snake. “Mum doesn`t look a bit like this. She doesn`t slitter about and hiss. She doesn`t curl round a nest of eggs. And anyway, my mum`s got more legs.” “It`s legs we`re looking for now, you say? I know where she is, then. Come this way.” “Mum isn`t black and hairy and fat. She`s not got so many legs as that! She`d rather eat fruit than swallow a fly, And she lives in the treetops, way up high.” “She lives in the trees? You should have said! Your mummy`s hiding above your head.” “No, no, no! That`s a spider.
“No, no, no! That`s a parrot. “Mum`s got a nose and not a beak. She doesn`t squawk and squabble and shriek. She doesn`t have claws or feathery wings. And anyway, my mum leaps and springs.” “Aha! I`ve got it! She leaps about? She is just round the corner, without a doubt.”
“No, no, no! That`s a frog! “Butterfly, butterfly, please don`t joke! Mum`s not green and she doesn`t croak. She`s not a slimy. Oh dear, what`s a muddle! She`s brown and furry and nice to cuddle.” “Brown fur – why didn`t you tell me so? We`ll find her in no time – of we go!”
“No, no, no! That`s a bat. “why do you keep on getting it wrong? Mum`s doesn`t sleep the whole day long. I told you, she`s got no wings at all, And anyway, she`s not nearly so small!” “Your mum`s not little? Now let me think. She`s down by the river, having a drink!”
“NO, NO, NO! That`s the elephant again! “Butterfly, butterfly, can`t you see ? None of the creatures looks like me!” “You never told me she looks like you!” “of course I didn`t I thought you knew!” “I didn`t know. I couldn't! You see...
“...None of my babies looks like me. So she looks like you! Well, if that`s the case We`ll soon discover her hiding place.”
No, no, no! That`s my dad!” “Come little monkey, come, come, come. It`s time I took you home to ...”
