The Very Hungry Caterpillar

I read this classic book by Eric Carle to my morning group of preschoolers who'd never read it before. Even with their limited attention spans they loved it. The afternoon group is just a little older and most of them had read it before. To enrich the experience for them I like to stop and ask questions while reading. The hungry caterpillar hatches from an egg on a leaf in the moonlight. I asked "What else hatches from eggs?" knowing they'd just finished studying farm animals. The loudest boy in the room shouted "SHEEP!"

Imagine . . .oh, I wish it were true!
