The caterpillar eats it all and turns into a butterfly, just like in the main book. Very hungry caterpillar aesthetics are one of the all-time classic asthetics, and the book has a finger puppet caterpillar that pokes through the pages and you can work it to eat all the things, and so those are pros even if its utter derivative superfluity in the face of a superior work by the same author about the same caterpillar eating largely the same food is a con.

One of my favorite picture books is The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. I love the illustrations in the book. Much like all of Eric Carle’s books The Very Hungry Caterpillar is colorful and children love it. A fun fact about the book is it was published in 1969 and it is still a best seller today! I would use this book for ages 1-4.
