"In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf." So begins Eric Carle's modern classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. More than 12 million copies of this book have been sold in its original, full-sized edition, and the beloved tale of science and gluttony has been translated into 20 languages. This five-by-four-inch miniature edition is truly tiny, with tiny type, but it is a nice size for small hands to hold and flip through the pictures. Following the ravenous caterpillar's path as he eats his way through one apple (and the pages of the book itself) on Monday, two pears on Tuesday, three plums on Wednesday, and so on, through cherry pie and sausage--until he is really fat and has a stomachache. And no doubt you know what happens next! Kids love butterfly metamorphosis stories, and this popular favorite teaches counting and the days of the week, too. A fun gift package for caterpillar fans.

Passing the torch to a new generation

My nephew is only 1 year old and loves books. We gave him a copy of "Very Hungry Caterpillar" board book for his first birthday, and it is his favourite! He will flip through it alone, and when his father comes home, he will give him the book, sit quietly cross-legged on the floor waiting for him to read it. It is such a heartwarming site! Love this book, and love being able to share it with my nephew.
