In the moonlight, a tiny egg lies on a leaf. On Sunday morning, when the sun rises, a tiny and hungry caterpillar climbs from the egg. He starts looking for food. On Money, he eats an apple, but he is still hungry. On Tuesday, he eats two pears, but he is still hungry. On Wednesday, he eats three plums, but he is still hungry. On Thursday, he eats four strawberries, but he is still hungry. On Friday, he eats five oranges, but he is still hungry. On Saturday, he eats a piece of chocolate cake, an ice cream, a cucumber, a piece of cheese, a ham, a lollipop, a cherry pie, a sausage, a cupcake and a piece of watermelon. On that night, the caterpillar has stomachache. The following day is Sunday again. He eats some green leaves, and his stomach feels better. Now, he is not hungry, he is not a tiny caterpillar any more, but a big and fat caterpillar. He makes a little house, called cocoon and wraps himself inside. He stays inside for more than two weeks, and squeezes out by biting a hole on the cocoon. And the caterpillar turns to a beautiful butterfly.

Eric Carle is acclaimed and beloved as the creator of brilliantly illustrated and innovatively designed picture books for very young children. His best-known work, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, has eaten its way into the hearts of literally millions of children all over the world and has been translated into more than 62 languages and sold over 41 million copies. Since the Caterpillar was published in 1969, Eric Carle has illustrated more than 70 books, many best sellers, most of which he also wrote.

Carle says: "With many of my books I attempt to bridge the gap between the home and school. To me home represents, or should represent; warmth, security, toys, holding hands, being held. School is a strange and new place for a child. Will it be a happy place? There are new people, a teacher, classmates - will they be friendly? I believe the passage from home to school is the second biggest trauma of childhood; the first is, of course, being born. Indeed, in both cases we leave a place of warmth and protection for one that is unknown. The unknown often brings fear with it. In my books I try to counteract this fear, to replace it with a positive message. I believe that children are naturally creative and eager to learn. I want to show them that learning is really both fascinating and fun."

Eric Carle has two grown-up children, a son and a daughter. He divides his time between the Florida Keys and the hills of North Carolina.

Arabic text with diacritix marks
Loved that the Arabic text has diacritic marks for non-native speakers to know how to pronounce the words!Only dislike was that it was a paperback as opposed to a hardcover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the Arabic translation!

This is one of my dabeiitr childhood books and now then I have my own baby, I was sure to put this on my list for books I wanted to buy. I really want the baby to know Arabic and English so I have been looking for baby books with both translations and couldn’t believe this wonderful book came in they version! The Arabic is proper and correct. I only wish they made a hard cover book because the paperback isn’t as sturdy and the baby tried to grab it and rip it apart. Hopefully they will come out with hard cover and I’ll buy that too! But excellent purchase regardless!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wish it were a boardbook.

This book is larger in size. It's printed on soft pages. My in-laws read it to my LO, and it sounds like a correct translation. I wish it had pinyin so I could read it as well, and I wish they offered a boardbook version. My LO likes to reach and grab which results in ripping. This book comes in boardbook form in other languages, just not Chinese. I'd buy it again if offered as a boardbook. We read this one quite often.

5.0 out of 5 stars Familiar book for Mandarin public library collection
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2019

I purchased this book as part of a Mandarin language collection in my public library, specifically for storytime. I showed it to a Mandarin speaker to make sure this was a good, quality book, appropriate for ages 2-5, and the speaker agreed and enjoyed this book. I'm very happy with the results and with the company.

The only reason for 3 stars is because it arrived with a corner of the spine ripped at the bottom. This book was a baby gift so it was kind of a bummer to give a gift that was damaged.

I bought this BECAUSE of the Arabic! It’s very clearly written on the top left hand side of the book. My mom (who speaks Arabic) loves reading it to her grandson in both languages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for learners of Arabic
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 6, 2017
Verified Purchase
Simple script which is perfect for those of you learning Arabic. Or English. The only unfortunate thing with bilingual books such as this one, and I don't see how it can be avoided, is that the book opens as a traditional English language book from left to right, whereas in Arabic of course the book opens the other way and starts from the right.
