The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Book • 1969

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a children's picture book written and illustrated by Eric Carle.

The story follows a tiny caterpillar that hatches from an egg and begins eating through various foods each day of the week.

After overeating on Saturday, the caterpillar gets a stomachache but feels better after eating a green leaf on Sunday.

The caterpillar then builds a cocoon and emerges as a beautiful butterfly.

The book incorporates elements of early childhood education, including counting, days of the week, and the life cycle of a butterfly.

It is known for its iconic collage artwork and educational content.
