The very hungry caterpillars Christmas Eve
By: @officialericcarle

We thought we should at least read one book for Christmas in July. It's such a cold day today in Sydney and so windy we thought this book would be great.
It's such a cute book, my baby girl loved finding the animals under the flaps. She loved it so much we read it three times. It's a keeper 😁

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

An enjoyable lift the flap book which had a cat or dog under it(spoiler alert) that my daughter would open and say hello to. My only gripe is that majority of the pages the caterpillar was in the same spot which made it repetitive to find.

A rhyming, Christmas book for children, with a very hungry caterpillar in the background. While reading this book, you can feel the atmosphere of Christmas. The book can be a Christmas gift for children

A nice little christmas book but slightly playing on the popularity of the hungry caterpillar as he doesn't really have much of a role in it. My 10 month old liked it.

Beautifully illustrated and everyone loves a pop up book, though the story was rather lacking for my toddler.
