The Very Hungry Caterpillar Kindle Edition

The media could not be loaded.  Where to even begin with Eric Carle's "The Very Hungry Caterpillar"? This book has been a cornerstone of childhood for countless kids—and with good reason!First and foremost, the visual elements are stunning. Eric Carle’s unique collage technique brings the story to life in a way that instantly captures the attention of both young and older readers. His choice of bold, vibrant colors is just like eye-candy for the young ones.The tale itself is simple yet profound. A caterpillar eats its way through various foods, both healthy and not-so-healthy, growing bigger and ultimately transforming into a butterfly. On one level, it’s a delightful story about change and growth; on another, it subtly teaches children about the days of the week, counting, and nutrition.I appreciate how the book incorporates little "holes" in the pages to indicate where the caterpillar has munched through, adding a tactile element to the reading experience. My 5-year-old loves poking her fingers through the holes, making the story not just a visual but also a sensory delight!It’s also worth noting that the story is quick and to-the-point, making it perfect for bedtime or for little ones with shorter attention spans. But despite its brevity, it offers a wealth of topics to explore and discuss, from biology and metamorphosis to making healthier food choices."The Very Hungry Caterpillar" isn't just a book; it's an interactive, educational experience that both children and adults can enjoy together. It is a tale that transcends time and remains as relevant today as it was when it was first published. If you haven't introduced your children to this story yet, you're missing out on a classic that’s as nourishing for the mind as it is a delight for the senses.

This book helped to introduce my granddaughter to Eric Carle and his clever way of teaching young children.

This book was my 26 yo daughter's favorite book. I got this book for her son when he was born and she still got excited about the book. I have also gotten this book for a gift for many baby showers. It is nice hard book that has plain white part to write a personal message either in addition to a card or in place of. Speaking with other adults in their 30's I've found it to be very common to hear "OMG, I LOVE THAT BOOK!".

I loved this book growing up, and now my 3 year old loves it too

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. Great purchase!

I got this for my 2yr old great nephew and he loved it and still enjoys it. This is a board book so it stands up to a toddler who loves to turn the pages. The illustrations with the little holes in the pictures of fruit etc delights him and he likes the bright colors

This full story is popular in kindergartens for a reason, and this is a cute, colorful, shorter toddler board book version of it. Babies and toddlers benefit in many ways from having short, simple books read and shown to them, and these are sturdy enough for toddlers and pre-schoolers to play with and "read." Highly recommend this and similar books for every young child.

Bought this because of the rave reviews and I'm so happy I did. My baby (under a year) LOVES IT! He loves looking at the colorful images and enjoys reading them to him. We read it so often that the book is torn in two! Planning to repurchase soon.

Buena calidad del libro, muy lindo

Erica carle, una garanzia della letteratura per l'infanzia. Inizialmente ho avuto un po' di ritardi in quanto l'ho dovuto riordinare per una seconda consegna ma poi tutto si è risolto. Consigliatissimo

I bought this book for three young kids: one baby (6 months), one young "lady' (2 years) and another young "lady" (3 years).They all love it!

Great
