In Cradle Mountain, our infants and toddlers were read Eric Carle\u2019s The Very Hungry Caterpillar<\/em>. The children were enthralled by the different foods the tiny caterpillar ate on his journey to becoming a beautiful butterfly. In Lilly Pilly Gully, Pamela Allen\u2019s book Mr McGee and the Big Bag of Bread<\/em> took the children on a misadventure through the zoo.
