Have you used an Eric Carle theme in your classroom before? His colorful illustrations will light up any classroom. The main mascot for this theme would be the very hungry caterpillar. It easily stands out and reminds you of the book that made it so famous. I feel that the value that students are getting out of this theme is an environment that encourages a love for books and reading.
