About the Book
First published in 1969, The Very Hungry Caterpillar features a caterpillar who eats its way through a wide variety of foodstuffs before pupating and emerging as a butterfly. Eric Carle’s colorful and distinctive collage illustrations have captivated young audiences for many generations. As the caterpillar “eats holes” in the pages, kids can count the days of the week and food, and learn about a butterfly’s life stages. This beloved story is even endorsed by the Royal Entomological Society for its portrayal of the life stages and transformations of a caterpillar to a butterfly. The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been translated into more than 62 languages and sold more than 46 million copies. Eric Carle is a designer, illustrator and writer of more than 70 children’s books, and the founder of the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst, MA.
All Books Alive activities are included with regular paid admission to the museum: $10 for adults and children over the age of 1 and $9 for seniors. Museum admission is free for Children’s Museum of NH members and children under 1 year old. To learn more visit www.childrens-museum.org.
