There is a little white egg that hatches a little caterpillar that is very hungry.  This little caterpillar is on a quest to find food to fill his hunger as he goes through the days of the weeks and counts the food.  After his journey the caterpillar goes through a beautiful transformation.  I would read this to Kindergarten students to practice the days of the weeks and simple counting.  I would read this to first of second grade students to show metamorphosis.
