As the Hungry Little Caterpillar is quite brief the production began with some of his other works. The creator Eric Carle had a hand in making sure his beautiful artwork was re-created faithfully on stage under the skilled hands of the New York based company The Puppet Kitchen. So it was no surprise to see an almost full house of parents with very young children for the premiere of this production in the heart of Sydney. The combination of beautiful illustrations, humour and an engaging story where they can relate to concepts such as over eating makes it irresistible. I know from experience that Eric Carle’s Very The Hungry Little Caterpillar is one of those that can prompt so many re-reads that toddlers recite key moments to memory. Some children’s books are read once then discarded.

For example, walking into a dark room, cues you to perform an action that will enable you to be able to see. Habits begin with a cue, or a trigger to act. Once we do behaviors that give satisfying consequences often enough they become automatic. Our brain figures out how to respond to new situations through a process of trial and error. In James Clear’s words: “A habit is a behavior that has been repeated enough times to become automatic.” How are habits formed? When we repeat a behavior many times it becomes a habit and happens automatically. Habits are automated behaviors that we’ve learned from experience.
