Reviews

In honor of the 40th anniversary of Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar comes the first-ever pop-up edition of this book. When the familiar, tiny caterpillar pops out of his egg, a dial lets readers help him chug across Carle's earthy color palette. Next, the caterpillar eats his way through a week's worth of pop-up fruit, as well as a full-page display of sweet and savory treats, (resulting in a stomach-ache), before his eventual transition into a butterfly. The pop-ups, particularly a half-cylinder tree trunk that sprouts from the center of the spread and a large accordionlike cocoon, are well executed and engaging. While the prominent use of white space lends a sparser feel than in the picture book, the shimmering wings of the pop-up butterfly dazzle on the final spread. Ages 3-up. (Mar.) Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.

A good translation of this much-loved picture book. Children will be fascinated by the caterpillar's varied diet and miraculous transformation into a beautiful butterfly.

Wonderful book for very young children. I think I know it by heart! Teaches children about the life cycle of a butterfly and they love to poke their fingers in the holes. One of those books that has stood the test of time.

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
