About This Book

A very hungry caterpillar eats his way through an incredible variety of foods - from one apple on Monday to a feast of treats on Saturday - before spinning a cocoon and emerging as a beautiful butterfly. Eric Carle's bold collage illustrations and clever die-cut pages make this interactive journey through counting, days of the week, and metamorphosis unforgettable.
