Comparing/Contrasting Two Books

We read several books written by Eric Carle this week. Two of our favorites were The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Grouchy Ladybug. Today, we reviewed what happened in the two stories by writing what was the same and different between them.

Caterpillar:

• Started in an egg.
• Had a tummy ache.
• Ate through a lot of food and was big and fat.
• Turned into a beautiful butterfly.
• Had 1 character in the book.
• Made a cocoon and stayed in it for more than 2 weeks.

Ladybug:

• She was grouchy.
• Wanted to fight the other animals.
• Went home and was wet and tired. Then ate and became friendly.
• Got smacked by a whale's tail.
• Had a lot of characters in the book!

Both:

• Characters were hungry.
• Main characters have antennas.
• Both have legs.
• Setting was outside.
• Both have red on their bodies.
