Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
This Very Hungry Caterpillar will eat it's way through the pages, straight into your child's heart! Author: Eric Carle Illustrator: Eric Carle Publishing house: Penguin Putnam

Amazon.com Reviews:
'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

User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Book is great, but the format may not be
On the one hand, it's The Very Hungry Caterpillar - I love it (despite the upside-down butterfly on the last spread), I grew up with it, it's a great book.

On the other hand, I'm not sure it's a book very well-suited for board book format. The best feature of the book, the holes, are too small to be much fun, and the normal audience for board books is perhaps a little young to fully enjoy this one - it's too wordy without any narrative tricks (rhyme, meter, alliteration) to pull them in.

In retrospect, it would have been better to wait a few years and then just get the regular hardcover edition.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Not the best quality
The book was listed in Very Good condition. I would say it was a little less than that. Maybe even "fair" condtion. I had to wipe it down a lot when I got it. It was sticky! My baby really loves it though (now that it's clean).



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Classic favorite
This book goes in and out of favor with my daughter, but the fact that at different stages she finds it engaging is what really makes this a great classic book. We started reading this to her at 3 months. She could follow along in the story and be engaged at 6 months. And even now at 18 months, she's saying the fruit names, putting her finger in the holes and paying attention to the story line. This is a MUST GET book for any child!



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Good Book
This is a favorite of mine. We did a puppet show and the kids had a blast. They never get tired to listening to it and hearing about all the foods the caterpillar ate.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - GOOD BUY FOR VERY YOUNG OR CHILDREN W/ AUTISM
BOUGHT THIS FOR MY SON AND I LOVE IT- HE LOVES IT. AND IT DURABLE.
