Classic for a good reason
"My 9 month old grandson loves this book!"
Everyone should always read The Very Hungery Caterpillar!
"This was one of my favorites growing up, and now it's one of my kids favorites. Enough said. :-)"
We are huge fans of Eric Carle and all of his works. This board
"We are huge fans of Eric Carle and all of his works. This board book is a welcome addition to our growing collection. The illustrations are simple and artistic at the same time, as is the text. Unlike all of the other Carle books we've owned so far, this one actually has a single linear narrative that spans the entire book. It is also written entirely in prose, so some people who enjoyed his rhyming books might be a bit disappointed. This book also features a fun and unusual formatting - several pages vary in length, and they feature the small holes through which the caterpillar has presumably burrowed. This is innovative, but sometimes it can make it tricky for the small hands to turn those pages - our toddler is still getting used to this. However, the small annoyances are nothing compared to all the fun that we all get out of this beautiful little board book."
Perfect for Gift-giving
"I bought and sent this to my grandson for his 1st birthday. My son called when the book arrived. He said he had already bought the book for his son because it was his favorite book when he was a kid and he still remembered how much he loved it. What better review than that? And to think I had thought my son had forgotten. But he also said he would keep both copies because one was sure to be worn out with its heavy use."
MY FAVORITE BOOK AS A CHILD!
"What fun to buy my son the book that had been my favorite as a child! He enjoys sticking his fingers in the little holes, although the smaller version of the book only allows small fingers in there. Still a fun book for kids and adults alike. Good pictures, lots of colors, and not too many words."
A Coming of Age Classic
"Eric Carle is undoubtably one of the best children's authors/illustrators around and shows his stuff in this coming of age book about a caterpillar about to becme a butterfly. Classic and worth a look."
Wonderful Book
"This book is a classic story. The illustration is wonderful. It is easy to follow and keeps the children interested because of the counting and pictures of the food. This book incorporates the life cycle of a butterfly. I always recommend this book to young readers. My daughter is 9yrs old and she still reads this book."
My Toddler Loves It!
"It's not only good for counting, but for identifying foods. My toddler wants me to read it over and over again."
Great classic
"A great classic for children of all ages. My 15 month old daughter loves this book and the cut outs make it fun to read and turn the pages."
