Board book
Publisher: Philomel
Eric Carle
Format: Bargain Price
The Very Hungry Caterpillar is inarguably one of the most popular children's books of all time. Now, here is the Spanish board book version of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, filling an important niche for the youngest of Spanish-speaking children.
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?

I wish I would've gotten the version with the hard pages because it was a gift for a 1 year old girl. I didnt realize it was so small with paper pages. But, other than that, I love the story!

My three year old daughter loves it. She has memorized most of the book. She can fit her pinky through the hole and wiggles it as she says what kind of food it is. The artwork is really fun too.

One Sunday morning a caterpillar hatches from an egg and eats his way through the week, each day eating one more item than the day before. The following Sunday he spins a cocoon and goes to sleep, waking as a beautiful butterfly. This wonderful book has a lot going for it: It utilizes the days of the week, counts from one to five, names a number of familiar foods, and traces the life cycle of a caterpillar. It also incorporates a charming humor when on Saturday, the caterpillar eats many foods beloved by small children (but not by caterpillars), and develops a stomachache. There is also a tactile element for younger readers, because as the caterpillar eats through each food he leaves a hole in the page, which is a cutaway revealing additional foods to come on the next day. The plot is simple enough to hold the attention of the toddlers for whom it is intended, while providing enough complexity to last longer than most toddler stories. It's brightly illustrated in Carle's inimitable collage style.
Because of its immense popularity, the book has appeared in many editions -- including board book, paperback, foam book, and pop-up. Since the 0-4 age is very rough on books, I recommend the sturdier versions.
