Nice book
It's a book full of fun. But the size might be too small for a little baby.

One of my son's favorite books to read
I recommend this book to everyone with a young child. My son loves to read it several times a day along with the soft caterpillar stuffed toy. It's great because it teaches children colors, numbers and simply explains the process of how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly.

Great book
This is one book my child asks for all the time. He likes to put his fingers through the holes on the pages. It has held up very well despite the abuse.

Ok for counting.
This book tries to teach counting. I use it regularly with my daughter and she usually runs out of patience before we finish the book and just closes the book and moves on to another book.

Terrific children's book
This has to be my son's favorite book since he was a little infant. Now he is two and still loves going through it. In addition to teaching numbers and different kind of foods, this book also promotes eating vegetable which is great.

Book is great, but the format may not be
On the one hand, it's The Very Hungry Caterpillar - I love it (despite the upside-down butterfly on the last spread), I grew up with it, it's a great book.

On the other hand, I'm not sure it's a book very well-suited for board book format. The best feature of the book, the holes, are too small to be much fun, and the normal audience for board books is perhaps a little young to fully enjoy this one - it's too wordy without any narrative tricks (rhyme, meter, alliteration) to pull them in.

In retrospect, it would have been better to wait a few years and then just get the regular hardcover edition.

Not the best quality
The book was listed in Very Good condition. I would say it was a little less than that. Maybe even "fair" condtion. I had to wipe it down a lot when I got it. It was sticky! My baby really loves it though (now that it's clean).

Classic favorite
This book goes in and out of favor with my daughter, but the fact that at different stages she finds it engaging is what really makes this a great classic book. We started reading this to her at 3 months. She could follow along in the story and be engaged at 6 months. And even now at 18 months, she's saying the fruit names, putting her finger in the holes and paying attention to the story line. This is a MUST GET book for any child!

Good Book
This is a favorite of mine. We did a puppet show and the kids had a blast. They never get tired to listening to it and hearing about all the foods the caterpillar ate.
