"The very hungy catepillar" is a good book for children?

"The very hungry caterpillar” is a good book for children because you can work a lot of target of the curriculum, for example: children learn week´s days, some fruits, cycle of the butterfly. The pictures are fantastic for understandings the story, they are very funny because they seem colored by children. Also illustrations are very clear. I think book´s layout is perfect to motivate children because every food that appears in the story, has a small hole simulating the caterpillar has eaten a piece of different food.
