It's a funny story to read about caterpillars children would enjoy it. I did! He ate his favourite foods and then he became fat.

I just wanted to add to the reviews I have read that the book also addresses the issue of healthy eating. After consuming all the unhealthy food he has a stomach ache and my daughter explains to me everytime we read the book that "His stomach aches because he ate food that was bad for him." She also comments on the fruit he ate and adds "He didn't have a belly ache when he ate the fruit because fruit is good for you!"

Eric Carle, The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a great story for kids. my son absolutely enjoyed it because we had the hard back end he could put his fingers through the holes. My daughter who is 5 and 2 years older than my son loved it too.

I read this book after a colleague of mine spent an entire lunch detailing the depths of feeling he experienced when reading it. After work I went straight to the Waterstones bookshop in Bluewater.

I felt this was a very good buy for an Eric Carle book, and especially as my go ...

Overall, it is a good book, and I would recommend it to children. The author, Eric Carle was predictably remembering the first time he learned about caterpillars. That's what went through my mind anyway.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a good book.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle has lots of colour and also items to count. My kids love this book. The story progresses to keep them interested. There are some things to count, and it shows them what happens if they eat too much, and finally the caterpillar turns into a butterfly - so it's educational about nature too.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a classic children's story that recounts the transformation of a caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly.

The plot in a nutshell is this: a caterpillar comes out of an egg, looks for food, finds and eats it, gets huge and becomes a butterfly.

The front cover is white, containing the title and a large green caterpillar with a red head. Its back is curved and its feet a ...

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, is one of my Favourite stories and great for a pre-school project.

On the 6th day he wakens up and is extremely hungry and eats his way t ...
