From Amazon.com
"In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf." So begins Eric Carle's modern classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. More than 12 million copies of this book have been sold in its original, full-sized edition, and the beloved tale of science and gluttony has been translated into 20 languages. This five-by-four-inch miniature edition is truly tiny, with tiny type, but it is a nice size for small hands to hold and flip through the pictures. Despite its diminished state, the book is complete in every detail, following the ravenous caterpillar's path as he eats his way through one apple (and the pages of the book itself) on Monday, two pears on Tuesday, three plums on Wednesday, and so on, through cherry pie and sausage--until he is really fat and has a stomachache. And no doubt you know what happens next! Kids love butterfly metamorphosis stories, and this popular favorite teaches counting and the days of the week, too. A fun gift package for caterpillar fans. (Baby to preschool) --Karin Snelson

 A wonderful little book! January 13, 2010
Jenn (Montreal, QC Canada)
I have loved this story since I was little but I bought this particular version for the cute caterpillar that came with it!
I would recommend purchasing this book+caterpillar set over just purchasing the book itself because it helps take the story to an even more interactive level which makes story time that much more memorable and enjoyable.
I hope this helps!
Really Good Book November 28, 2009

I am very happy with this product. It was exactly what I was looking for. It's a good size book and really nice hardcover. Delivery was quick and it was nicely wrapped so there was no damage to the book during delivery. It's a great buy.

The very hungry caterpillar is an excellent story for young children as it teaches them to read through repetition. It's a very simple story. The pictures are bright. I read this book with my preschool children quite often. They now read along with me and just have to point at all the foods as we say the names and count them. Thanks to this book they now also know that caterpillars spin a cocoon also known as a chrysalis, and when the caterpillar sleeps in his cocoon he will come out a beautiful butterfly. They learned all this through reading a simple children's story several times. I know repetition can be hard for parents but it really is a key to young children's learning. That's why I love Eric Carle stories he uses repetition in a fun way.

The "board" format of this book was a great choice for my daughter. She loves poking her fingers in the holes made by the Very Hungry Caterpillar.
I've always loved this book and it's nice to see that my little one loves it too!
