    Enjoyable book -- interactive and even educational for your little ones

    Another author that you have to love. The Very Hungry Caterpillar is eye catching and intriguing to toddlers and preschoolers. How much can one caterpillar eat? And what happens when he eats that much? Good introduction to the days of the week as well as some great food vocabulary. A definite plus to add to your toddler's library.

    The greatest book of all time in my opinion...

    This book is one of the best books ive ever read! It filled me with joy, and infinate gramatical knowladge! It brought me out of servier depresion and has quite possibally saved my life, it made me realise what is important in life... caterpillars! However i feel the book contains a sinister undertone which may influance a younger audiance in an extreamly negative and detramental way! The book encourages binge eating and vegaterianism which may hampper the growth and development of todays youth. Also the sexual inuendos envolved in the book may ruin the book for may of its readers! Overall i thought it was an amazing read but some issues need asessing.

    Have read this book over and over...

    since I was two. My daddy read this book to me over and over, at my demand. A great book for all toddlers, I still read it every one in a while, now in Spanish.
