Why I Love It
Maybe this is an obvious entry (Carle is a classic, after all), but itβs my babyβs current favorite book, so it would be silly not to include it. A caterpillar is born and he is HUNGRY. He proceeds to eat and eat and eat, making some good and not-so-good choices before he is transformed into a beautiful butterfly. My baby loves the interactive die-cut pages, with tiny holes just right for poking a finger through. The illustrations (collaged with hand-painted papers) are perfection.
