The Very Hungry Caterpillar is playing hide and seek in the forest! Lift the flaps to find hidden creatures and follow the finger trails to explore. A gentle rhyming narrative with a die-cut finger trail, die-cut details and a chunky flap on every page. There is plenty for little hands to explore throughout this fun first introduction to forest creatures and their habitats.
'It's beautifully designed and illustrated. There is so much going on and I was able to genuinely connect with my little daughter's excitement and interest - very nostalgic, too.'
