Customer Reviews

Mini copy too small

This story is amazing. Get the full size copy to enjoy the art work as picture books were intended.

Check the Dimensions!

This book is a very small exact replica made by the same publisher. The hard cover seems to be good quality. But I can see the lacing on all the pages except the last 2 and the thread is loose hanging out of the book on the page where the story starts. So, on top of this book being small, I don’t know how long this is going to last.

Front cover ripped

Is a nice book. I selected to buy an Acceptable copy but it's less than acceptable. The front cover its ripped and taped together the pages are worn and some torn at the edges. I love the story though.

Super disappointed! Searched thos book in ENGLISH and received a whole other language!

Super disappointed in this particular book. Not what I ordered!

A little misleading

While the book came in good condition, it is maybe only a few inches big. It can fit in the palm of my husbands hand. Beware that this is the miniature version of the book and not the large version. I'll be looking for the large version as we won't be able to use this to read aloud to all our kids at the same time.

Excellent book - teeny copy.

Well this book will not be used as a read aloud for my classroom. Total bummer. But I will happily add it to my other copies.

Horrible

The book is maybe 1inch by 1inch. Not only misled by “acceptable” but totally misleading with an itty bitty book!

Not Acceptable

I love The Very Hungry Caterpillar, but the condition this book arrived in was awful. Its dirty, torn, missing pages.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

My great-grandson loved the Very Hungry Caterpillar. He loved the "holes" in the book as the caterpillar ate his way to show the metamorphosis of a caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly.

Board book was in wonderful condition

This is a favorite in our house. The condition of the book was even better than the description. I’m very pleased.

Great condition!

This is my first time ordering from here so I didnt know what to expect. When I received this book, it was in awesome condition! No rips, no water damage, no coloring on the pages. I'm very happy with this purchase.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Book and Memory Game (The World of Eric Carle)

Even my older (2nd grade) students love this version of the book. It has a game inside. They can't get enough of it.

Great book!!!!!! My Son loves it!!!!

This spanish version is very good, I even like it better than the english one. My 18 months old son absolutely loves this book and enjoys putting his fingers in the holes that are inside. Really good book!!!!

Munch, munch, munch!

This book is great in that it not only teaches the life cycle of a butterfly, counting to 5, the names of the days of the week, and about different types of food. The actual holes in the book create an intrigue and imagination that a caterpillar really munched his way through. The easy-to-read worlds makes good teaching tool for young children.

Lovely

Eric Carle is the favorite author for me and my sister. His illustrations are lovely and just perfect for the stories. We enjoy reading his books again and again. It is a real joy for us. This is very simple reading about a caterpillar who eats throughout the whole week. We love the brightly colored pictures on each page and repetitive phrases in this book. This book belongs to each household. We also like Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and Why Some Cats are Rascals ( Book 3)

Always great

As an elementary school Spanish teacher this book is a lifesaver. While I found some of the translations slightly unusual it is a great way to use childrens literature to teach many subjects in Spanish. Since it is a favorite of all children and so well known the book is easily understood and can teach number, colors, days of the week, and the life cycle of a caterpillar.
