The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Eric Carle

Synopsis

A caterpillar hatches, eats through a week of increasingly ridiculous food, and sleeps his way into another shape. Carle’s counted meals are a first lesson in days, numbers, and the idea that becoming yourself can look, for a while, like greed.

Synopses are original catalog copy written for Every Book Ever, not publisher blurbs.
