Product Description

From Amazon

"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. Despite its diminished state, the book is complete in every detail, 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. (Baby to preschool) --Karin Snelson

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, smaller than what I was expecting Feb 11 2013
By Jiye Li
Format:Board book|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is no doubt a great book. My child loves the French version, which is as big as a laptop. I ordered the English one for a friend, but when I received it, the book was only half as big as the French one. Just pay attention.

I thought this board book would be bigger, but turns out it is the perfect size for a 1-2 year old to handle. It is a great book and my granddaughter just loves it.
