Former president George W. Bush named this his favorite book from childhood (it came out when he was 23 ... but perhaps he meant his kids' childhood). In any event it's one of my favorites from my childhood, and from reading to my own kids. Was it the first to put holes through its pages? Probably not, but it worked very well. Kids like sticking their fingers in things - genius! 
 Anyhow - this is one HUNGRY caterpillar! He puts a hole through everything be it a slice of watermelon (or wacca menon as my daughter first said it), ice cream cone, or sausage. 
 It is in fact one of the bestselling books in the history of literature!

 So what does this epic teach us? 
 1/ Everything in moderation. Our caterpillar just sticks a single hole in each food item - he ain't that sort of greedy, he'll leave some for others. 
 2/ Try new things. Our caterpillar ain't picky, he'll try anything once, even gherkin! 
 3/ Eat healthy to avoid stomach ache. A nice green leaf will sort you out. 
 4/ Change is good. Straighten up and fly right and you too could become a beautiful butterfly and... um ... fly, right!
