How great is the book the Hungry Caterpillar?

Question

The suspense, the drama, you never know what’s going to happen next!

I’m sorry the Very Hungry Caterpillar. Either way you all know what I’m talking about. Thanks for the correction.

Answer 1

I remember the first time I ever saw The Hungry Caterpillar. I was immediately smitten with the protagonist, an anti-hero on par with Milton's Lucifer. The work itself is an masterfully artistic expression on the pathos and immutable inevitability of capitalistic expenditures and corruption due to the confluence of opposing cultural viewpoints.

I wept when I read it. Several times.

Answer 2

I only know "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" :p
That is one of a preschool teacher's all time favorites, and kids just eat it up, too. No pun intended. (Or was it?) It rocks in more ways than one, and there are so many valuable lessons. Plus Eric Carle's illustration process is - like - way cool - and stuff. And you can always do groovy craft projects when you're done reading it to the kids. Who could ask for anything more?

Answer 3

It's a nice little story with delightful illustrations. Teachers, students and librarians enjoy it and I think it's going to be around for many years to come. What a sweet way of explaining the concept of metamorphosis!

I think you would like the story of "Hubert the caterpillar". Hubert is a fuzzy black caterpillar who thinks he's a mustache and he spends his time trying to find a face. The children giggle like crazy when I read it to them, and I'm amazed how many teachers had never seen this book before.

Answer 4

It's nothing, compared with "the very hungry caterpillar"!☺

Answer 5

It's stunning, with its symbolism of humanity versus life.
