Young readers prepare for bedtime with the Very Hungry Caterpillar.

A caterpillar and a young goose become great friends, but as they grow up they undergo changes which separate them for awhile.

"Two caterpillars approach life in very different ways. Zip likes to plan, but doesn't like change, while Parsley is happy to live in the moment. How will they cope in the face of sudden and unexpected change? This hilarious adventure is a lively introduction to adaptability, problem-solving, resilience, and mutual understanding." -- Jacket.

Die-cut pages illustrate the concept of shapes as a hungry caterpillar eats different things for dinner.

"A hungry robin sees an inchworm and is just about to eat it when the little insect tells the bird that he is quite useful because he can measure things. He ends up measuring all sorts of birds, inch by inch, until he meets a hungry nightingale. Will this talent be able to save him once again?" --

The hungry caterpillar and his friends enjoy the sensory experiences of summer, like listening to noisy bugs, feeling the warm sunshine, smelling the yummy scents of a cookout, and more.
