The Very Hungry Caterpillar

The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been delighting young readers for over fifty years. Through the week, a very hungry caterpillar eats through a tempting and varied selection of foodstuffs before pupating and emerging as a beautiful butterfly. Eric Carle’s bold, colourful artwork and simple, rhythmic text have made this one of the most recognisable children’s books in the world. Perfect for teaching the days of the week, counting, and the life cycle of a butterfly — all wrapped up in an utterly irresistible story. This is the anniversary edition with a new foreword by the author.
