Growing and Changing Like the Very Hungry Caterpillar

Help me give my students each of my students the wonderful children's book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, to keep for their home library.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. McNeil's classroom raised $358

My Project

Help me provide high quality board books for my little friends to keep. The Very Hungry Caterpillar book is fun, interesting, will help spark questions, and make learning extra fun!

I would love to provide each of my students with this brand new, high quality board book of The Very Hungry Caterpillar to keep.

So many of my little friends do not have a lot of books at home. Reading is critical to their learning.

Having their own book to keep will allow my little friends to engage in reading activities at home. Establishing a love of reading now will positively affect their academic growth and progress.
