Amazon.com Review:
"In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf." So begins EricCarle's modern classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.More than12 million copies of this book have been sold in its original,full-sized edition, and the beloved tale of science and gluttony hasbeen translated into 20 languages. This five-by-four-inch miniatureedition is truly tiny, with tiny type, but it is a nice size for smallhands to hold and flip through the pictures. Despite its diminishedstate, the book is complete in every detail, following the ravenouscaterpillar's path as he eats his way through one apple (and the pagesof the book itself) on Monday, two pears on Tuesday, three plums onWednesday, and so on, through cherry pie and sausage--until he isreally fat and has a stomachache. And no doubt you know what happensnext! Kids love butterfly metamorphosis stories, and this popularfavorite teaches counting and the days of the week, too. A fun giftpackage for caterpillar fans.
