This is a much-loved classic but as relevant today as it was when first published in 1969! The vivid and colourful illustrations and cut back and die-cut pages, together with some very simple text, provide a wonderful story that is immensely satisfying for parents and children alike. It’s a book that’s more threadbare than most in the nursery in my house.
A special gift set that includes a mini hardback of the classic story and a caterpillar toy to bring the story to life!
This new and improved Very Hungry Caterpillar gift set contains a mini-hardback edition of Eric Carle's classic and bestselling picture book, with a cute and cuddly caterpillar toy.
Every child should experience this wonderful, cumulative story, with its brightly coloured pictures of the tiny but greedy caterpillar that eats his way through one apple, two plums and three pears before turning into a beautiful butterfly. The board version stands up well to the inevitable poking of little fingers through the holes in the pages. Kirkus UK
