Having trouble translating (はらぺこ あおむし）
I'm translating the Japanese edition of Hungry Caterpillar and I'm stuck on one line.
"どようび、 あおむしのたべものは なんでしょう。 (It then lists a lot of food)"
The best translation I come up with is
"On Saturday what other food did the caterpillar eat?" but this doesn't feel right to me.
Please help (and break down the sentence if you can)
Thank you

Maya, you missed one letter as the correction above.
I also watched a video of this story.

I prefer to take "On Saturday what did the caterpillar eat?"
Children might expect six pieces of something, however the caterpillar ate so many foods.
