Very Hungry Caterpillar / Al Dudatu Al Shadidatu Al Gou

Text in Arabic. For ages 4-8. One sunny Sunday, the caterpillar was hatched out of a tiny egg.

He was very hungry. On Monday, he ate through one apple, on Tuesday he ate through two pears, on Wednesday he ate through three plums -- and still he was hungry.

Strikingly bold, colourful pictures and a simple text in large clear type tell the story of the hungry little caterpillar's progress through and amazing variety and quantity of foods.

Full at last, he made a cocoon around himself and went to sleep, to wake up a few weeks later wonderfully transformed into a butterfly.
