Product Description
The beloved caterpillar once again eats its way through the pages on its way to becoming a beautiful butterfly. Hardcover.
Amazon.com
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?

 Classic August 8, 2008
This is a great board book, not too annoying to read over and over again. My 5-month-old son really responds to the beautiful illustrations.
My toddler loves this book July 14, 2008
We got this book from the library and my son loves it. We own The Mixed-up Chameleon book, but my son isn't as into that one, maybe it's for kids who are a bit older, as my son isn't quite 2. However, this book seems to be perfect for him, he loves to put his fingers in the holes the catapiller ate into everything. So, I'd say this might be the best Eric Carle book for the young toddlers, esp. since it's not a long story.
LOVE this book July 13, 2008
As a teacher this is a great book to inspire reading in students and my grandchildren!
My favorite book June 30, 2008
My parents read tons of books to me when I was little, but I remember this one was my favorite. Of course I bought it for my daughter who, hopefully, will enjoy it when she gets a little older! I always give this one as a baby present- it's a classic.
 Book is great, but the format may not be June 24, 2008
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.
