Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

An engaging read that stimulates the senses, this title will titillate young imaginations with lively and entertaining pictures and words. From the get-go, the story brims with vibrant energy, as a girl chases after a butterfly in her backyard garden. She returns the next day hoping to find her playmate again-only it is nowhere to be found. Instead, a cornucopia of colorful insects dominates the scene. Like the butterfly, they too are active creatures, and are associated with strong verbs such as "buzzing," "slithering" and "scurrying." Horácek's (Silly Suzy Goose) well-executed die-cuts include a cheery family of ladybugs (with a die-cut within a die-cut providing the requisite spots) and a trio of voracious earthworms whose faces derive from a fern-like plant on an earlier page. The array of vibrant insects captures the girl's attention, and before long, it appears she can hardly remember the butterfly. But lest readers worry that these other insects have usurped the butterfly's place in her heart-and the storyline-a larger than life pop-up of the title character provides a dramatic ending, practically leaping off the pages and delighting the girl (and most likely, kids as well). This story soars with energy and proves that, indeed, good things come to those who wait. Ages 3-5. (Apr.)

From The Critics
Eric Carle's "Very Hungry Caterpillar" is now a classic known and loved by children everywhere. This title is very likely to become an addition to that list. The beautiful, vibrant color illustrations with cleverly designed holes, completely compliment the text. One day while playing in the garden, a small girl named Lucy sees a beautiful butterfly. The next day, the butterfly is nowhere to be found. But Lucy, dressed in a red and black polka dotted dress, discovers many additional and wonderful things. These include a pink earthworm, a brown spider, a green beetle, a family of "spotty red ladybugs," purple caterpillars, and a blue dragonfly. Still, Lucy yearns to find the butterfly. Her long search yields nothing, so she finally lies down in the grass to watch the sky. The last page reveals a gorgeous pop-up butterfly flying above Lucy's head. This very special book should be included as a first purchase for every library's children's collection.
