Please read the following Eric Carle books to your students: "Brown Bear, Brown Bear", "10 Little Rubber Ducks", "The Very Lonely Firefly" and "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" before the performance.
I can watch "The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show" and begin to discover the many adventures found in books. I can retell the stories when I see them presented on the stage.
The critically acclaimed production of The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show created by Jonathan Rockefeller features a menagerie of 75 lovable puppets. The production faithfully adapts four stories by author/illustrator Eric Carle: "Brown Bear, Brown Bear", "10 Little Rubber Ducks", "The Very Lonely Firefly" and of course, the star of the show - "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" has delighted generations of readers since it was first published in 1969, selling more than 43 million copies worldwide.
There will be 250 tickets available for each performance of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show".Teachers must provide an exact count when ordering the number of tickets needed for all students, teachers, and chaperones.
