Summary

More
One sunny Sunday morning, a little caterpillar emerges from an egg, eager to satisfy his enormous appetite. On Monday he eats through an apple, on Tuesday he eats through two pears, and on Wednesday he eats through three plums. Will he ever be satisfied?

Kids can count the increasingly funny items the caterpillar devours, from pickles to ice-cream cones, and discover metamorphosis as the caterpillar weaves his cocoon and transforms into a beautiful butterfly.

With its vibrant collage pictures and unique die-cut pages, this timeless book has become a classic that continues to thrill young readers.
