Twilight read a book, and the book told her a tale,
There once was a caterpillar, it had started so frail,
It searched for food, for it was in the mood,
For some juicy, juicy leaves, or so it believed.
It ate and ate, until it got full,
And then one night, it felt a strange pull,
Wrapped in a cocoon so tight,
It came out, what a sight!
A beautiful butterfly, oh my!
It stretched it wings, and began to fly...
Twilight is up late one night, reading a pleasant old children's book. Then she hears a sound and investigates. There was a caterpillar, and it was very, very hungry.
Chapters (2)
That was like, my first book :]
Love the story, very nice.
like and fave just for the childhood memories
I still remember that. I still have the book somewhere. The childhood memories that came from it.
Saw the title so decided to read. Not bad.

Unless you scootaloo.

Oh, this is pure sentimentality, I used to love that book.
As an elementary school teacher who has spent the last dozen years reading this book over and over and over to little ones, all I can say is that Eric Carle's work was truly celebrated with this piece. Thank you for this charming little take on the work, one that puts it through the prism of two characters that we all enjoy.
This brings back lot of memories.
Thumbs up if u agree!
Amg. I love this book. ;~;
Nice. I hope they know, Spike would eat less and grow more if they had meat on the menu!
Just saying!
If this story scars my childhood, i'm suing.

Your smoke scars my lungs, I'm suing.
Once again, childhood was awesome!

I thought this story was going to be dark at some point
Thankfully, it was not.
That book was my childhood, the story did it justice,
Dang. I thought Spike was going to turn into an actual butterfly.
Spike sure does have a big case of the munchies.
amazing. i dont know how you do it
You're telling me it's hard to put down literature? I read over five hundred pages today! That isn't normal!
Is that you Alice? ...I don't even know anymore. The food deprivation is starting to take its toll on me.

That said, that book is one of my favorites, and this story is pretty adorable.
Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

"Explodificated Tree
Watch out for spinters"
Needs a crossover tag, I guess?
Either way, thanks for the nostalgia!
Yeah, that was pretty sweet.
Little rush of nostalgia, like real nostalgia there...thanks for that.
Fuller review here, but in brief: a smile-inducing take on Eric Carle's classic, with a satisfying ending to chapter one, despite "Molt Down" appearing since. I felt chapter two's humour was rather forced, and I think the fic works better without it. Still worth a like, though.
