Product description

Amazon.com Review

With its lovely, humorous illustrations and wonderful narrative about a hungry caterpillar growing up to be a beautiful butterfly, Eric Carle's story touches anyone who still has some growing to do. Along with reassuring repetition--"He was still hungry ..."--the book includes some wonderful interactive moments: what youngster can resist sticking a finger through that hole in the page as his ravenous friend makes his way through various delicacies? --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

From the Inside Flap

One sunny Sunday, the caterpillar was hatched out of a tiny egg. He was very hungry. On Monday, he ate through one apple; on Tuesday, he ate through three plums--and still he was hungry. Strikingly bold, colorful pictures and a simple text in large, clear type tell the story of a hungry little caterpillar's progress through an amazing variety and quantity of foods. Full at last, he made a cocoon around himself and went to sleep, to wake up a few weeks later wonderfully transformed into a butterfly!

Brilliantly innovative designer and artist Eric Carle has dramatized the story of one of Nature's commonest yet loveliest marvels, the metamorphosis of the butterfly, in a picture book to delight as well as instruct the very youngest reader or listener. Cleverly die-cut pages show what the caterpillar ate on successive days, graphically introducing sets of up to 10 objects and also the names of the days of the week in rotation, as well as telling the central story of the transformation of the caterpillar. The final, double-page picture of the butterfly is a joyous explosion of color, a vibrant affirmation of the wonder and beauty of Nature. --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

Just like the book Goodnight Moon, my kid has loved this book since he was 3 months old. I've gifted this quite a few times to kids ranging from 6 months to 1.5 years and invariably they love it.

To my surpize it was delivered as a magazine format with very thin paper pages, absolutely impossible to handle for my nearly 2 year old. I was very disappointed , a waste of money. The book got destroyed within few touches - in my opinion the seller has to show clearly which type of book they are selling , if i knew before its a simple magazine id never buy it. I know the book from friends and tht kids love it usually due to uts nice content and set up

This is my baby's fav book! The quality n story is nice and it teaches numbers till 5 and weekdays too in the story plus the moral is good too : when the caterpillar eats junk food it has stomach ache and when it eats nice green leaves it becomes a beautiful butterfly! Best book? My baby is just 16 months so just likes to hear and catch the holes that are punched into the foods in the book. Great fun go for it.

The Very hungry caterpillar is very satisfying

Reviewed in India on 11 December 2019

A very good book from Eric Carle telling how a caterpillar become beautiful butterfly even gives a moral lesson to kids regarding food habit. It's a small compact board book with 13 pages including the cover. My 3 month baby loves to look into it without any other distraction while I read it for him.

I love this book. The size of this version was small though it was specified and I failed to notice that or imagine it correctly. The book is a nice story of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. It teaches your child days of the week, counting, food (fruits and other snacks), and the process of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. The book is sturdy (survives chewing and flinging about by infants), has colourful pictures and small little holes that infants find intriguing enough to poke their little fingers into.

Interesting find on Amazon.

Reviewed in India on 8 February 2019

Reading is good for language development. I purchased good night moon but didn't like the idea of telling good night to inanimate objects in the room. But this story was interesting. It shows the life stages of a butterfly, numbers, days of weeks, introduces to healthy eating habits, various fruits and other foods, about sun, moon and plants. Your child is going to enjoy the book from infant days to childhood. And the story time will stay as a pleasant bonding memory between you and the kid. Don't put the on gadgets. Introduce them to books and real Human interactions. Overall like the product. Very good.

Love it.
It's about a catapillar that becomes a cocoon.
A very different book with holes in the food that the catapillar has eaten. I think u enjoyed the creativity more than my Lil one who might have been too small for it. He did sit through the whole book putting his Lil finger in the holes.

Understandably a classic

What is it with this book? This is the all time, number one greatest book my daughter has got. Its something about the artwork and the holes (from the caterpillar munching) that fascinates her. I have to read the same page to her hundreds of times.... hundreds I tell you!

Lovely book, but not a great quality version.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 June 2020

Verified Purchase

It’s a lovely book, my six month old granddaughter absolutely loves it.
I bought the same book for my daughter when she was a baby, and the book was bigger then, I could fit my finger in the holes to mimic the caterpillar - an important part of the storytelling. Can’t do it with this one, holes are minuscule.
Also, teething babies produce a lot of dribble. Even though I’ve rigorously cleaned the book, the pages have stuck together, and the print has damaged.
Shame it’s not of the quality it was all those years ago.
Regardless, and wonderful story thy infants enjoy time and time again.

We love Eric Carle’s books and this one is a classic. The art work is amazing. Engages both babies and adults but is so educational at the same time ! Teaches your counting, days f the week, names of fruits, life cycle of a butterfly and so much more! My son loves reading books and this one is one of his favourites. This book comes with us to drives, restaurants, shopping or whenwe go to meet friends.
Do check out other books of Eric Carle’s - brown bear brown bear what do you hear and polar bear polar bear what do you see. A must buy for children.

Tiny! Not at all happy with size. Need to make it clear that it is a miniature version of the book. Couldn't be bothered to send it back as we needed a book for the little ones birthday. Burdened with an unwanted book but it is ok she was still chuffed to bits with it

This is a small box gift. I wasn’t overly impressed looking at it but amazon have made returns a bit difficult now so I decided to keep it upon opening the soft toy is small and the book is the part I am most disappointed with... the outside of the book is hard the pages are paper the writing is small and the holes are small too I wouldn’t buy this as a gift nor would I have kept it ideally not ideal for small children. Dissapointed in this product.
