My kids love the book but it's one of my least favorite Eric Carle books.

I've read it too many times but it's a great book to keep children entertained without having them make too many inappropriate comments or questions

if u haven't read this book wyd !!!! absolutely iconic, 11/10 would recommend my first fave book

it follows a very hungry caterpillar as he navigates this cruel, cruel world in search for a decent feed. Everyday he must rise and eat in a terrible, repetitive cycle that teaches us early of the mundanity of the working week. 

But do not worry, for at the end (spOILER ALERT !) he becomes a beautiful butterfly, and all the time he's spent existing and living within this capitalistic society which demands we work everyday in order to achieve some far off dream is ACHIEVED as caterpillar self-actualises and becomes the best version of himself he could be. Caterpillar is the american dream. 

the caterpillar: *eats too much, goes into a cocoon*
me, a child: I think he died!
the caterpillar, emerging as a butterfly:

What are you gonna do when your kids keep demanding food that are unhealthy for them and you say no, they're gonna hit you with "but the CATERPILLAR did it and he became beautiful butterfly after!!"?

Think of that before you read this book to your kids.

I think the book was cleverly crafted though.

I read it because the author died and I wanted to see what was so great about this book. 
I don't see what makes it such a great book. The art style was just meh.

The illustrations are great, but I really don't get why this book is *so* praised. It's so minimal that it's almost nonexistent.

This much-loved classic picture book follows the caterpillar's week while he eats through a range of foods in preparation for his hibernation and subsequent appearance as a beautiful butterfly. With its die-cut pages and holes to explore, this is a richly satisfying book for children. The cuddly caterpillar toy can be pushed through the giant holes as children follow this simple, hopeful story.

Follows the progress of a hungry little caterpillar as he eats his way through a varied and very large quantity of food until, full at last, he forms a cocoon around himself and goes to sleep.
