It has been one of my daughter's favorite books since her grandfather gave her a copy as a child. She will not part with the book even though she will be entering high school. Reading it with her grandfather will always be one of her most treasured memories.
Next week, on the first day of spring, programs will be held around the world to celebrate Spring and "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" Day on Thursday, March 20th. This is a wonderful opportunity to introduce young children to simple picture books, such as "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and to continue to encourage older children to read!
How about organizing a "Mobile Library" in a local playground? Or a story time picnic outdoors? A community park with a pavilion or gazebo is a perfect place to celebrate any day of the year!
How will you be celebrating? Tell us in the comments below!
