The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Lukas’s Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - An all time favorite that we have read from his first night home, until now, leading into his third birthday! This book grew with Lukas and I love to see him get so much joy from naming fruits and counting!

A colourful classic about growing, discovering and becoming something new.

Why I chose it

I chose this one for the little ones who love to point, count, name things and ask what happens next.

It’s one of those rare books that grows with a child — first they enjoy the bright pictures and little holes to explore, then they start joining in with the counting, days of the week and familiar story. And of course, watching the caterpillar transform into a butterfly is pure magic.
