[DeepL Translation - needs review] A very hungry, tiny little Caterpillar was born on Sunday morning. On Monday, he ate an apple, and on Tuesday, two cherries. ...... He ate lots and lots of food, and became a plump little Caterpillar. He becomes a chrysalis and finally a beautiful butterfly.
An international best-selling picture book that also includes recognition of numbers and days of the week.
If you have been learning Japanese with hiragana and katakana this is a great way to get a quick test and confidence boost for reading comprehension! It's a simple book that is in essentially every language on earth at this point, but an important step to learning is realizing you've learned something. It may sound silly but I felt incredible when I read this in the kids section of the public library!
The sentences about the caterpillar eating are simple, the ones describing what happens to the caterpillar are more complex and can be hard to understand since it's written in full hiragana. Uses an emphasized ぺっこぺこ instead of ぺこぺこ for "hungry." Good for names of food, counting, days of the week.
Great first step!
