Compelling, educational and fun
The classic story of the hungry caterpillar is very entertaining. I loved this as a child and am now sharing it with my children. I have always found the story magical that it starts with an egg, travels with a caterpillar and results in a butterfly. A very fun way of looking at the caterpillar life cycle.

A new favourite
My 2 year old loves this book and loves to name all the food. It teaches a little bit about the life cycle of a butterfly in an engaging children's short story. Hardback makes it easier for bed time reading also

Fabulous Book!
Fabulous Book! Especially pleased as this was the larger board book version, not the smaller which is often found on other sites. Bought for my neighbour's 18month old daughter. Her mum said it had been one of her favourite books as a little girl and would really enjoy rereading it with her own little one.

A wonderful resource
One of our 2 year old granddaughter's favourite books. We bought our own copy so we can read to her using Skype or WhatsApp video. It's a great way of staying in touch during the lockdown, and beyond.

As beautiful as a butterfly
The book has been s favourite with all my kids. Oldest now 30. It was her favourite book. I thought this book particularly because of the size would be great for my grandchildren. ❤️

A well used all time favourite
The one I received was a bit worn, cannot even clean the pages out as the stains are so embedded in it. Good posting speed and packaging though

Childhood favourite
I read this book as a child, and now I've bought it for my children for bedtime reading. My toddler loves the colours and tries to read it by herself. The storyline is cute, simple and compelling for young minds. One of those great books that never lose their appeal.

A must have for toddlers
My daughter absolutely loves it. It is good to start learning counting, colours, shapes, fruits, days. It helps kids memories in a fun way also teaches cycle of life.
