Eric Carle is acclaimed and beloved as the creator of brilliantly illustrated and innovatively designed picture books for very young children. His best-known work, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, has eaten its way into the hearts of literally millions of children all over the world and has been translated into more than 62 languages and sold over 41 million copies. Since the Caterpillar was published in 1969, Eric Carle has illustrated more than 70 books, many best sellers, most of which he also wrote.

Carle says: "With many of my books I attempt to bridge the gap between the home and school. To me home represents, or should represent; warmth, security, toys, holding hands, being held. School is a strange and new place for a child. Will it be a happy place? There are new people, a teacher, classmates - will they be friendly? I believe the passage from home to school is the second biggest trauma of childhood; the first is, of course, being born. Indeed, in both cases we leave a place of warmth and protection for one that is unknown. The unknown often brings fear with it. In my books I try to counteract this fear, to replace it with a positive message. I believe that children are naturally creative and eager to learn. I want to show them that learning is really both fascinating and fun."

Eric Carle has two grown-up children, a son and a daughter. He divides his time between the Florida Keys and the hills of North Carolina.

I love this book it is perfect for baby use and a perfect extract of the normal version. It helps your baby learn about fruits, adjectives and numbers. The puppet is cute and flexible except for its antenae but its easy to figure out how to put the caterpillar through the whole again.

This book came the very next day after ordering it. It arrived in excellent condition. I purchased it for a killer deal compared to its regular retail value. The author of the book is one of my favorites and creates such cute children's books. This particular book has very bright adorable pictures and fun creativity. I highly recommend it to anyone with children.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute, but doesn't have the actual story.
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2014
Verified Purchase
I really love the little finger puppet, and so does my son, but I expected it to be the story with the finger puppet worked into it. It's not, it's just bits and pieces that don't connect unless you already know the story. Which works for me, but it's hard for my toddler to connect two stories to make sense of it.

We have a few hungry caterpillar books and toys. This one is great and helps with counting so very educational. She loves the pictures and likes turning the pages. Really sturdy and don't have to worry about her bending or ruining the book as she can be really rough with paper books and often scrunched the pages but this is great.

A very colourful and beautiful book. It comes with hard cover, 1to 5 number and a colorful butterfly, the puppet is soft and nicely attached. I am using it for my 3 month old baby though she is not that interested 😀 , so I suggest it for 4 month and above babies because then they will start understanding colours and reaching to the things.
