Good size Hardboard book

Reviewed in Australia on 25 October 2020

Verified Purchase

My four year old love this story. The book is big size and being all hard board is a plus for little kids. I can see my kid using this book and later passing it on to someone else without any damage. One tip: I search and play videos of these stories and if my kid shows a bit of interest then I buy the books. so far it has worked with many story books that we have selected and bought.

I purchased this book as a gift for a pregnant friend as it is such a classic. The book turned up really quickly. I love the cardboard pages, perfect for little hands that like to pull at pages. Would buy again.

Understandably a classic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 February 2017

What is it with this book? This is the all time, number one greatest book my daughter has got. Its something about the artwork and the holes (from the caterpillar munching) that fascinates her. I have to read the same page to her hundreds of times.... hundreds I tell you!

Lovely book, but not a great quality version.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 June 2020

Verified Purchase

It’s a lovely book, my six month old granddaughter absolutely loves it.
I bought the same book for my daughter when she was a baby, and the book was bigger then, I could fit my finger in the holes to mimic the caterpillar - an important part of the storytelling. Can’t do it with this one, holes are minuscule.
Also, teething babies produce a lot of dribble. Even though I’ve rigorously cleaned the book, the pages have stuck together, and the print has damaged.
Shame it’s not of the quality it was all those years ago.
Regardless, and wonderful story thy infants enjoy time and time again.

Love it

We love Eric Carle’s books and this one is a classic. The art work is amazing. Engages both babies and adults but is so educational at the same time ! Teaches your counting, days f the week, names of fruits, life cycle of a butterfly and so much more! My son loves reading books and this one is one of his favourites. This book comes with us to drives, restaurants, shopping or whenwe go to meet friends.
Do check out other books of Eric Carle’s - brown bear brown bear what do you hear and polar bear polar bear what do you see. A must buy for children.

Just like the book Goodnight Moon, my kid has loved this book since he was 3 months old. I've gifted this quite a few times to kids ranging from 6 months to 1.5 years and invariably they love it.

A must have!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 February 2020

Verified Purchase

I love this little book! Its a must-read for all young children. Its so cute, well illustrated, colourful, easy to follow and exciting for toddlers learning to count! I loved it as a child and think every little child should read it. The size of the book that i received was slightly bigger than i remember/imagined. The quality is perfect. Very happy with this purchase.
