This mini hardcover edition of Eric Carle's classic story begins one sunny Sunday, when 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.

not what I expected,

This review is from: The Very Hungry Caterpillar Book and Memory Game (Hardcover)
I bought this book to use for therapy. I did not realize that the memory board game is physically attached to the book. When you open the book the board game pops up. This is too distracting for young children. I ended up cutting the game out of the book, which left me with an odd shaped book with space on top of the pages. The memory game has the tiles fixed into it, so you cannot shuffle them to create different patterns. It doesn't take the children very long to establish where the tiles are. Overall, I was disappointed with this purchase- the pages in the story are small and the game quickly became too repetitive.
