About the author
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.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2023Book came in perfect condition. Each page has a scratch and sniff part and all of them smell as they should. I'm not sure how long it will hold up over scratching after each read, but so far so good! My LO loves it. Great addition to the Eric Carle collection!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2024Very hard to find new scratch and sniff books. My daughters grew up with them so I purchased several of these for my grandchildren!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2024I love this little book . It’s a cute story, and especially entertained my grandkids. I would recommend it.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2024My little one LOVES this book. The smells smell just like what they are described as and last a pretty good amount of time.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2024The scratch and sniff stickers dont all work, and some have a funny smell. Also would have been more fun with more scratch and sniff sticks on each page. Great idea though
- Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2023It is hard to find scent books for kids. I really liked this book. It really helps baby explore scents and food.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2023This is a cute story that I read to my grandson at his bedtime.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2020I was excited to order this book for my daughter as she loves The Very Hungry Caterpillar and scratch and sniff books. My complaints are the following:
1. The book is very brief, just 6 pages long, one for each scent.
2. Because the book is so short, there really isn't much of a story. Basically, the caterpillar ate this, this and that. The end.
3. The first book I received was missing 4 out of the 6 scratch and sniff patches. I was able to get a replacement book that has all the scents included but was disappointed with how faint the scents are, especially the last one (the chocolate cupcake).
We have several Eric Carle books and enjoy reading them with my kids, but this one is a miss for me. I think they sacrificed story telling thinking the scratch and sniff aspect would make up for it. Well, it doesn't. I could have just bought a pack of scratch and sniff stickers for less money and called it day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sensory book
Love the idea of adding sensory reading in for my 18 month old as he is a wiggler. He has gone from only smelling the scented areas to exploring more of the creatures and items on the pages. It’s been a fun read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed. Not worth the money
My 2 year old loves the Hungry caterpillar so I thought this would be m excellent addition to her book’s collection. I was disappointed as there was no story and the scratch and smell was very faint…. Really not worth the cost… should be half the price
