What does *The Very Hungry Caterpillar* sound like in Yiddish? At this bilingual reading, children and their families will hear Eric Carle’s popular story in German and Yiddish. Together, we’ll follow the little caterpillar as it works its way through its huge appetite, discover words and sounds in both languages, and experience just how familiar – and yet completely different – a story can sound.
