«The Very Hungry Caterpillar» is Eric Carle's classic children's picture book, published by Scholastic in paperback (24 pages, in English).
A tiny caterpillar hatches from an egg on Sunday and eats increasing amounts of food each day: one apple, two pears, three plums, and then various treats. When finally satisfied, it spins a cocoon and wakes up transformed into a butterfly. The collage illustrations and die-cut pages, with holes in the food, reinforce learning numbers and days of the week.
The work belongs to the 'Eric Carle's Very Series'. Originally published in 1969, it was nominated for the California Young Readers Medal in 1976.
A classic of children's literature, for early readers and read-aloud moments; it allows counting, naming foods, and following the butterfly's cycle.
