The Very
Hungry Caterpillar
Eric
Carle (Boardbook format)
Brand new hardback copy in
Small boardbookFormat,
One sunny Sunday, the
caterpillar was hatched out of a tiny egg. He was very hungry. On Monday, he ate
through one apple; on Tuesday, he ate through three plums--and still he was
hungry. Strikingly bold, colorful pictures and a simple text in large, clear
type tell the story of a hungry little caterpillar's progress through an amazing
variety and quantity of foods. Full at last, he made a cocoon around himself and
went to sleep, to wake up a few weeks later wonderfully transformed into a
butterfly!
Brilliantly innovative designer and artist Eric
Carle has dramatized the story of one of Nature's commonest yet loveliest
marvels, the metamorphosis of the butterfly, in a picture book to delight as
well as instruct the very youngest reader or listener. Cleverly die-cut pages
show what the caterpillar ate on successive days, graphically introducing sets
of up to 10 objects and also the names of the days of the week in rotation, as
well as telling the central story of the transformation of the caterpillar. The
final, double-page picture of the butterfly is a joyous explosion of color, a
vibrant affirmation of the wonder and beauty of Nature.
This is one of the most poular Chilren's
books ever published, and rightly so! PLEASE NOTE THIS IS THE SMALL
