There was a caterpillar and he was very hungry...
So he ate and ate lots of junk until he felt so sick and his tummy was so big...
So he balled himself into a cocoon...
After some time of ingestion, "Voila!" the very hungry caterpillar became a beautiful butterfly...
Then end.
Then end.A friend needed puppets for the story The Very Hungry Caterpillar because he was going to do a puppet show retelling the story in another language. I am honored that he enlisted my help and it was a lot of fun to make!
I wish him well on his final project, but I am sure his rendition of the story will be magnificent!
