Annie's favorite book to read to children is "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle. This book is full of color and different learning elements. Children count along as the very hungry caterpillar eats and eats until he is finally full. He creates a cocoon for himself and emerges as a beautiful butterfly.
