a much loved book for people of all ages. Children enjoy reading it over and over again and they even pick up the storyline and read along with you. Children really enjoy going through the days and saying all the fruit and food the catapillar is eating and they really enjoy all the different colours through out the book. When they see the Coccon they all say that its the home for the catapillar to change into a beautiful butterfly
This is my favourite book from childhood. I think everyone should own a copy. My friend spent months trying to track one down in Melbourne and it is so hard to get. So glad fishpond has a (hopefully) endless supply.
This was one of my favourite books as a child and my son now loves it as well. He has learnt so much from the colourful illustrations and he especially loves the pages with the food. This book is a classic and an absolute must for the bookshelf for anyone with young children.
A beautiful little story book for children, that is both educational as well as very fun to read. I used to love this book as a kid, and I have to say, that I still enjoy reading it to my own kids today. A gorgeous and simple story, with gorgeous and simple illustrations that are full of colour and life.
This is a lovely book and my son really loves the colourful food. It is great for teaching names of items and also counting, and the days of the week. When reading this book my son also talks to me about what food he's eaten and which one he would like to eat... (usually the lollipop)
This is one of my daughter's favourite books! She loves to cuddle up and go through the pages as we count the fruit and explore The Very Hungry Caterpillar's adventure as he grows into a beautiful butterfly. Definitely a timeless classic and a must for the bookshelf of any child (or adult!)
