The Very Hungry Caterpillar

“Gorgeously illustrated, brilliantly innovative.”—The New York Times Book Review

In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf.
One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and—pop!—out of the egg came a tiny and very hungry caterpillar.

So begins the journey of Eric Carle’s most beloved storybook character, a caterpillar eating his way through a variety of foods as he grows into a butterfly.
