Caterpillars to Butterflies

     Kindergarten and first grade students listened to The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and Waiting for Wings by Lois Ehlert.  Each book talks about the life cycle stages of a butterfly and each has bright, bold illustrations to capture a young audience's attention.  Ehlert's book is nonfiction, which gave us the opportunity to talk about nonfiction information and
compare it to Carle's fiction writing which gave the same information in a funny way.
