«Rupsje Nooitgenoeg» is the classic children's picture book by Eric Carle, published by Gottmer in hardcover (32 pages, in Dutch).
The caterpillar hatches from the egg on a Sunday and, with a voracious appetite, eats more each day: fruits and other foods, until her tummy hurts. After wrapping herself in a cocoon, she emerges transformed into a beautiful butterfly. The die-cut pages mimic the holes the caterpillar leaves in the food, and the vivid collage illustrations are as characteristic of the author as the story of metamorphosis and growth itself.
This is the original Dutch-language book of «The Very Hungry Caterpillar», first published in English in 1969. It belongs to the «Eric Carle's Very Series».
Recommended for children aged 3 to 6, it serves for first encounters with the days of the week, numbers, and the life cycle.
