Video: The Very Impatient Caterpillar

Impatient to the Max

by Traci Swain

Launch a conversation among kids about the importance of patience with this hilarious Book Boys video for The Very Impatient Caterpillar by Ross Burach.

“Is it here yet?!”

Book Boy Max is practically bouncing off the walls—he can’t wait for Elliott to arrive with the Book of the Week! When Elliott finally shows up with the Scholastic Book Clubs Book Box, he has the perfect book for Max: The Very Impatient Caterpillar by Ross Burach.

Watch this Book Boys video with your students to get an excellent sense of what The Very Impatient Caterpillar is all about and to start a conversation about patience.

By watching this video, your students will:

• Engage with reading role models

• Observe examples of positive social-emotional skills

• Make text-to-self connections

As Elliott explains, “All of us can be a bit of an impatient caterpillar at times.” Why is patience a valuable and important skill for your students to learn? Please share on social media using the hashtag #ScholasticBookClubs.

Meet the Book Boys: Allister, Elliott, and Max

These three guys from different departments at Scholastic Book Clubs formed a book group. Each week, they choose a new book to read together. Then they meet, discuss, and create fun and entertaining videos to help kids discover—and relate to—titles offered by Scholastic Book Clubs.

While the Book Boys come from diverse backgrounds and were definitely different growing up, they all have one thing in common: they really want to get kids excited about books and reading.
