Editorial Reviews

Now Eric Carle's famous caterpillar comes in an adorable plush and book package! Sure to keep your child giggling with delight (and maybe even make some tummies growl), this charming set contains the board book edition of Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar and a colorful six-inch-long caterpillar doll. Carle's classic has never been so much fun!

A caterpillar hatches out of his egg and is very hungry. On his first day, he eats through one piece of food; on his second, two, and so on. Little holes cut in the pages allow toddlers to wiggle their fingers through the food, just like the caterpillar. Vivid and colorful illustrations and ingenious layered pages help preschoolers learn the days of the week, how to count, and how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. This picture book is considered a must for every toddler's library.
