As told by Rubyellen Bratcher
There was a caterpillar and he was very hungry…
So he ate and ate lots of junk until he felt so sick and his tummy was so big…
So he balled himself into a cocoon…
After some time of ingestion, “Voila!” the very hungry caterpillar became a beautiful butterfly…
Then end.
Then end.A friend needed puppets for the story The Very Hungry Caterpillar because he was going to do a puppet show retelling the story in another language. I am honored that he enlisted my help and it was a lot of fun to make!
I wish him well on his final project, but I am sure his rendition of the story will be magnificent!
so cute, ruby! ah, that book has always been a favorite!
Wow very good work! I am impressed!
Love it!!! Such cute little critters that look exactly like the book’s characters! 🙂
Great work. I always love doing stuff like that too.
ummm…..who’s the better sewer? I would have no idea how to even start that!
I read this post with my daughter on my knee. She now wants me to ‘knit’ her a very hungry caterpillar because it is one of her favourite books! Jen
