The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, 1976, Puffin Books

A much-loved 1976 Picture Puffin edition of The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, made and printed in Singapore by Huntsmen Offset Printing for Penguin Books.

This book is so nostalgic for me, I have such fond memories of my teacher reading this to our class when I was little. The bold, inky colours. The rhythm of the days. The magic of those little cut-out pages. It’s the sort of book that feels instantly familiar, comforting, joyful, and quietly timeless.

A beautiful copy to share with children, or to keep close as a reminder of slower days and the stories that stay with us from childhood.
