    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe

    Such a sweet beginner's book, my great neice loves it!

    This is a great book to teach toddlers about Gods great plan for this Caterpillar to become a lovely Butterfly. Although God is not mentioned in this book, only he could make such an amazing creation. Eric Carle is a very good author.

    Okay except stuck pages

    I was aware it wouldn't be a new book, however the first 2 pages are stuck together. If I pull too hard, it will leave glue residue behind both pages. On the other hand, it wasn't stuck on the pages with the story, so I guess it's okay. I would recommend if that doesn't bother you, but if you want a clean, new product, probably look elsewhere (but they can get expensive 8/).

  • Excellent Teaching Tool

    The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a fantastic classic book, by Eric Carle. It is not only a fun story for kids, it is also provides the opportunity to teach about the butterfly life cycle, the days of the week, counting and good nutrition. There are many different activities you can do to accompany this book to expand on the concepts covered within. It is because of this that it is great addition to any personal or classroom library.

  • Great book!

    This is my child's favorite book. It is one of the classic children's books. I love it too, thankfully, because I have to read it about 8 times a day!
