Product Description

Amazon.co.uk 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?

Product Description
One of the 10 best selling children's books of 1991 "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" follows the caterpillar's metamorphosis into a butterfly. Eric Carle's other Puffin publications include "The Bad-tempered Ladybird", "The Mixed-up Chameleon", "1,2,3 to the Zoo" and "Do You Want to be My Friend ?".

5.0 out of 5 stars An amusing and engaging book. Favourite with my kids., 16 Jul 2000
By A Customer
This has been a favourite with both my children. The pictures are clear and amusing and the text is simple but never boring. Both kids asked me to read it them again and again and could soon tell me what was written on each page. A must.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book is fantastic, 13 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This wonderful story is accompanied by brilliant drawings. The small holes provide a an excellent way for the child to parictipate in reading the book. All the children I know love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A very educational piece of literature for the younger aged., 28 Jun 2000
By A Customer
I bought this fantastic piece of English work from Amazon, my children adored it and insisted that we read it to them by the light of a full moon. The book has taught them many things, like the days of our known week, and not to eat rubishy foods. My son has even insisted we buy another book writen by the same author.
