6. THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR
《好饿的毛毛虫》

Believing that a caterpillar was more appealing than a worm, Eric Carle's editor, Ann Benaduce, suggested that he make a slight change to the book. It worked out well - Carle didn't have a clear ending in mind for A Week With Willie Worm, and switching allowed the story to arrive at the natural conclusion of his titular caterpillar transforming into a butterfly.
埃里克•卡尔（Eric Carle）的编辑安•伯南基（Ann Benaduce）觉得毛毛虫要比蠕虫更有吸引力，于是建议卡尔对书做些小变动。结果出乎意料的好，卡尔原本并没有想好《和蠕虫威利的一周》（A Week With Willie Worm）这本书该如何结尾，但将书名里的蠕虫换成毛毛虫后，就自然而然以毛毛虫变成蝴蝶结尾。
