Work Description

One sunny day, a caterpillar pops out of an egg. He is very hungry and begins searching for food. He eats his way through ten very sweet pages and gets a tummy ache before finally finding a good, healthy leaf, which makes him sleepy. Then something really amazing happens. But you will have to read it your self to find out what!
