This month, in library, we celebrated  the 40th anniversary of one of our very favorite books, The Very Hungry Caterpillar written and illustrated by Eric Carle. Morah Ruthi used her felt board, colorful pieces and story apron to re-enact the story. This story is about a tiny caterpillar who eats fruit, leaves and assorted snacks each day of the week to become a big fat caterpillar and ultimately a beautiful butterfly. Morah Ruthi used this opportunity to discuss the brachot of each food on each day including the assorted snacks on Saturday at the "a Shabbat Party". Ask the children if they remember the brachot of some of the hard ones (watermelon, pickle). We also showed a short clip from the Scholastic website on how Eric Carle designed some of his illustrations. He has written many other great stories that you will enjoy reading to  children of all ages.
