With its lovely, humorous illustrations and wonderful narrative about a hungry caterpillar growing up to be a beautiful butterfly, Eric Carle's story touches anyone who still has some growing to do. Along with reassuring repetition--"He was still hungry ..."--the book includes some wonderful interactive moments: what youngster can resist sticking a finger through that hole in the page as his ravenous friend makes his way through various delicacies?

 Full of Educational Value December 31, 2008
I recommend it in my latest parenting book, "Kindergarten Simplified," as a precusor to starting school. It has all the draw of a wonderful children's book, i.e., beautiful illustrations, the curious holes in the pages, and the interesting story line.br /br /Best of all, your child will benefit from the "sponge effect" of hearing it over and over and learning the days of the week, numbers, sight words, and a little science lesson.br /br /
Great gift for kids! December 22, 2008
I buy this book for all of my friends with kids and they all love it!
A must for young children December 21, 2008
No child should survive childhood without having been been exposed to this book. They love to see the caterpillar "gnawing" its way through the food and then aching with the pain of so much and then morphing into a beautiful butterfly. Also, it's a science lesson they do not realize they are learning.
 the book is very small November 19, 2008

Didn't realize this was a mini-version of the book till I received it. It's about the size of an adult's hand (fingertip to palm). Doesn't make the best gift.
 Never received October 26, 2008

I remember loving this book as a child, so I was so excited to order it for my kindergarten class. Unfortunately, I purchased the book and never received it. Be careful what you order!
