1. The Very Hungry Caterpillar
This presentation would be fantastic with narration added but makes the file size very large, so would take too long to download from the internet. However if you want to record your own voice reading the story it is very easy. Click Slide Show at the top of the screen, then Record Narration. It will ask you to test the microphone, then you just run the show reading it as you go into the microphone. At the end of the presentation you can choose whether to save the timings as well as your voice – this means the children will not have to click on the green arrow to move to the next screen. If you want the children to click, say no.Remember to save the presentation when you have done this !

2. In the light of the moon a
little egg lay on a leaf

3. One Sunday morning the
warm sun came up

4. And pop! out of the egg
came a tiny and very
hungry caterpillar

5. He started to look for
some food

6. But he was still hungry!
On Monday he ate
through one apple 1

7. On Tuesday he ate
through two pears
But he was still hungry! 2

8. On Wednesday he ate
through three plums
But he was still hungry! 3

9. through four strawberries
On Thursday he ate
through four strawberries
But he was still hungry! 4

10. On Friday he ate
through five oranges
But he was still hungry! 5

11. One piece of chocolate cake
On Saturday he ate
through
One piece of chocolate cake
One ice cream cone

12. One pickle
One lollipop
One slice of Swiss cheese
One slice of cherry pie
One slice of salami
One sausage

13. One cupcake
That night he had a stomach ache!
And one slice of watermelon

14. The next day was
Sunday again
The caterpillar ate through one nice green leaf, and after that he felt much better

15. He was a big fat caterpillar.
Now he wasn’t hungry any more – and he wasn’t a little caterpillar any more.

16. He stayed inside for more than two weeks
He built a small house, called a cocoon, around himself.

17. Then he nibbled a little hole in the cocoon, pushed his way out and …

18. He was a beautiful butterfly!

19. The end
