Full description
Starting modestly with an apple and moving quickly through delicious looking chocolate cake, an ice-cream cone, a pickle, a sausage, a cup cake and a piece of water melon the small very hungry caterpillar eats its way to metamorphoses. It is quite a feast! Not surprisingly, the caterpillar has a bad stomach ache. Now he’s a big fat caterpillar who doesn’t need to eat anymore. Instead, he shuts himself up in a cocoon ….and soon, with a delightful ‘Pop!’ turns into a beautiful butterfly. Small fingers can feel the caterpillar’s neatly eaten holes as they go.
Synopsis
A newly hatched caterpillar eats his way through all kinds of food, getting bigger and bigger, until eventually he turns into a beautiful caterpillar.
