The Very Hungry Caterpillar loves to eat fruit. Here is a story all about fruits called Handa’s Surprise.
- How many fruits does Handa have in her basket?
- What happens to the fruits?
You could even have a go at making the fruits and putting them in a basket so you can play around with taking some away.
In the end Handa gave Akeyo a basket full of tangerines. There were so many in there.
- Can you guess how many ended up in her basket?
