RIF's 60th Anniversary Highlighted Book for 1969. A tiny caterpillar hatches from an egg one sunny morning, and he is very, very hungry! He munches his way through all kinds of yummy foods, getting bigger with every bite. What will happen when he wraps himself in a cozy cocoon, and what will he become when he comes out?
When Pigeon finds a delicious hot dog, he can hardly wait to shove the entire thing in his beak. But . . . then a very sly and hungry duckling enters the scene and wants a bite. Who will be the more clever bird?
The Sun and the Clouds were the best of friends. They worked side by side every day—warming the world, helping gardens grow, and painting the sky with bright, beautiful rainbows. But one morning they had a big argument. They turned their backs on each other and refused to share the sky. And without the Sun and the Clouds together, the rainbows disappeared. Soon the colors began to fade from flowers, houses, clothes—everything—until the whole Earth turned gray. Everything except one tiny forgotten box of crayons hiding in a school desk.
