This much-loved classic story begins on a sunny Sunday morning, when the caterpillar hatches out of a tiny egg. The caterpillar is extremely hungry and devours many different food items before it pupates. Full at last, the caterpillar makes a cocoon around him and goes into a deep slumber.

Vivid and colorful collage illustrations, along with die-cut pages and finger-sized holes show what the caterpillar ate on successive days.

Awesome even for the threes and the fours
I got the book and toy combination as its easy for the child to relate and play with.
My child got it as his christmas gift and immediately after reading the story once. He started to feed the toy caterpillar, healthy food as well as not so imaginary healthy food, saying no-no caterpillar "Don't eat junk food. Tummy ache. Stop."
The illustration is so brilliant, the words are not required to tell the story.
