Board-book versions of Eric Carle's best-known story "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and the much-loved classics "The Very Busy Spider" and "The Very Quiet Cricket" are packaged together in this colourful must-have slipcase. Each book features a novelty element: the Very Hungry Caterpillar chomps his way greedily through die-cut pages; the Very Busy Spider refuses to be disturbed as she diligently weaves her wonderful touch-and feel web; and the Very Quiet Cricket finally finds a friend and his voice as a sound chip activates on the very last page. A celebration of the genius of Eric Carle, this is an essential addition to a toddler's library.
