The Boy gets stuck on certain books…so much so that every year, our theme for his birthday cake is based on the “book of the year”…the one we had to read a zillion times over. This year’s favourite was The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. A simple and beautiful introduction to the magic of the metamorphosis from egg to caterpillar and butterfly. The story also teaches counting to 5, the days of the week, and about different types of food. The book is beautiful in it’s original version with gorgeous illustrations. Then comes the pop-up version. So vibrant that The Boy’s eyes nearly popped out of his head and so did mine. Highly recommended but to be given to a child who is mature enough not to tear the book apart.
