My kids loved it

Great for a bedtime story, if the kids are not settling down. My children 5 and 2.5 loved it.

Great for a toddler!

My little girl loves watching the Very Hungry Caterpillar, this is a great alternative whilst we are having dinner and reducing her screen time too.

Lovely story, magically brought to life.

Where does The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Other Stories rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is a lovely audiobook of the famous children's story. The music featured during the story really brings it to life, and makes it more entertaining for little ones to listen to. There are more stories featured in this audiobook too, not just the Very hungry Caterpillar which was a nice surprise.

What other book might you compare The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Other Stories to, and why?

My two year old toddler really likes to hear short stories such as this and Brown Bear, Brown Bear What do you see? The addition of music to of these relatively short stories, makes them very entertaining and engaging for very small children.

Beautiful in every way!

Read all the negative reviews before buying and don't agree with any of them! The music, the narration... Everything is beautiful and magical. My favourite audio books as well as the kids! Wish they did this for more Eric carle books or more children books in general ❤️
