This classic picture book with bright, collage-style illustrations has been enjoyed by generations of children for over 50 years and has lost none of its appeal. Starting with an apple on Monday and working his way through pears, plums, strawberries and oranges by Friday, he leaves a small, caterpillar-shaped hole in each fruit to show where he’s been.īut by Saturday, the caterpillar is still hungry so he gorges on everything from chocolate cake to salami until finally he is not only full but has a tummy ache! And then the most amazing thing happens, as the caterpillar is transformed into a beautiful butterfly. Over the course of a week, the tiny caterpillar munches his way through all sorts of delicious goodies.

When a tiny caterpillar hatches from an egg, the first thing on his mind is food - so off he crawls looking for something to eat.
