By Eric Carle
NY Times Bestseller
The Very Hungry Caterpillar was first published in 1969 and is still a favorite for children of all ages. This very simple story of the life cycle of a butterfly starts with, “In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf.” From the egg comes the caterpillar who eats and eats and eats, then builds his cocoon and from there becomes a beautiful butterfly.
The colorful illustrations are engaging, bright, and composed in a manner that allows the reader to witness the caterpillar’s transformation up close. It is truly amazing that this book has continued to be endeared by children for four decades.
