Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a perennial favourite with children and adults alike. Its imaginative illustration and clever cut-out detail charts the progress of a very hungry caterpillar as he eats his way through the week. This board book edition of what is surely a classic picture book is glossy, sturdy and ideal for curious little hands to get to grips with. (Ages 9 months to 2 years)--Susan Harrison

 Fabulous March 21, 2008
Dodster (UK)
Fabulous story, beautifully and ingeniously illustrated.
The story of a week in the life of a caterpillar, from egg to cocoon to fully fledged butterfly, as it chomps its way through various foods in an attempt to satisfy it's insatiable appetite.
Lovely story and the visible holes the caterpillar makes in the various foods, one hole for day one, two for day two and so on, bring the story to life.
Highly recommended as a bedtime/anytime reader.
A classic book for 2 generations of our family! March 20, 2008

This book about the greedy caterpillar was my younger brother's favourite when he was a child. He always found it very funny when the caterpillar got fat after eating all the food. Whilst I was pregnant with my son, I discovered that you could get this in a board book version, so I didn't hesitate to buy it (even though my Mum still has the paperback version in the loft). I'm glad I went for this because my son would have tore the pages out otherwise.
I had read it to my son as a young baby and he wasn't that interested. Then they had a fancy dress day at his nursery for World Book Day and I dressed him as a caterpillar and sent him with this book. I read the book to him and he just loves it now too. (I am sick of it personally, because I had to read it so many times!). I would heartily recommend it.
 Cut price, cut size! December 8, 2007

My wife works as a nursery manager, so she recommended this nook for our 19 month old daughter. Babies and toddlers are supposed to be able to put their fingers through the holes in the pages like a wiggly caterpillar poking through an apple, but not only have they cut the price, they have also cut the size down to a miserly 18cm x 12cm.
I returned the book to Amazon and have ordered a 29cm x 20cm version elsewhere.
 Colourful pictures and a great story December 6, 2007

My daughter just loves this book, shouting 'pop' as the caterpillar emerges from its egg and 'ooooooow' at the beautiful butterfly. She also loves poking her fingers through the holes left by the hungry caterpillar, add in the chunky pages which make this book almost indestructible and this has been a real winner.
 Not that fantastic September 19, 2007

After hearing so much about this book, I finally added it to the children's library. It's an ok story about a caterpillar who eats all sorts of food until he turns into a butterfly. I found the illustrations a little boring, and the holes did not generate the expected excitement. I could not help wondering if the important lesson was the life-cycle of a butterfly or a caution not to eat too much in case you get a stomach-ache. It's a good book but did not come to the standard of "Dear Zoo" or "We are going on a bear hunt".
