Eric Carle turned the traditional picture book into an interactive object by integrating holes and shortened pages, according to the Eric Carle Museum. “It’s a book you can play with, a toy you can read,” Carle explained about The Very Hungry Caterpillar. He designed it for toddlers and preschoolers, an audience under-recognized by the publishing industry at the time. A new era for picture books was born.
In honor of this wonderful book, please come to our a special reading of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, other books by Eric Carle, crafts and activities, and Very Hungry Caterpillar cupcakes!
