...but he was still hungry!

One of our favorite children's books is "The Very Hungry Caterpillar".  When Hunter was first becoming interested in books he would sit through about half of a book at a time - except this one!  I could read this one to him 3 times through before he would tire and want down.  When he started to talk he loved to say those words ("...but he was still hungry!") at the right time.  I love repetitive books like this one because it allows non-readers to be an active participant in the story.  As you can see, Hunter also loved to "read" this story to Graysen when she was little.  He was thrilled when I found her a "Caterpillar" onsie that she could wear as he read her the story.  I'm sure we've got many more readings of this family favorite ahead of us!  
ps - this is the first scrapblog I've done without using a template!  :0)
