Editorial Reviews:

As a tiny green caterpillar eats his way through the book, he is transformed into a beautiful butterfly, in a board book edition of the classic picture book.

"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

5 out of 5 stars Full of Educational Value

I recommend it in my latest parenting book, "Kindergarten Simplified," as a precusor to starting school. It has all the draw of a wonderful children's book, i.e., beautiful illustrations, the curious holes in the pages, and the interesting story line.

Best of all, your child will benefit from the "sponge effect" of hearing it over and over and learning the days of the week, numbers, sight words, and a little science lesson.

5 out of 5 stars Great gift for kids!

I buy this book for all of my friends with kids and they all love it!

5 out of 5 stars A must for young children

No child should survive childhood without having been been exposed to this book. They love to see the caterpillar "gnawing" its way through the food and then aching with the pain of so much and then morphing into a beautiful butterfly. Also, it's a science lesson they do not realize they are learning.

2 out of 5 stars the book is very small

Didn't realize this was a mini-version of the book till I received it. It's about the size of an adult's hand (fingertip to palm). Doesn't make the best gift.

1 out of 5 stars Never received

I remember loving this book as a child, so I was so excited to order it for my kindergarten class. Unfortunately, I purchased the book and never received it. Be careful what you order!
