Look Who's Here! Merry Christmas from the Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

CHRISTMAS IS A TIME...
OF SPARKLE AND SHINE...

And guess who's here? It's the Very Hungry Caterpillar, who for once is not hungry. But he is a curious caterpillar who wants to find out what all these busy doings are about.

With Eric Carle's captivating tissue-collage art and with Caterpillar as their guide, youngsters get to take part in the fun of Christmas preparations, in the famous author-illustrator's little picture book of Christmas doings.

What's this we see under the tree? Gifts are chosen for giving lovingly, wrapped prettily, and received with joy.

There may be new sights to see-- the bright star on top of the tree!

There may be snow to make their sleds go!

It may be too chilly for Caterpillar, curling up warm by the tree,
But then he's the one, when Santa comes, to be the first to see...

... what little ones are waiting for! With all the magical moments that Christmas brings, Eric Carle's Merry Christmas from The Very Hungry Caterpillar (The World of Eric Carle) (Grosset and Dunlap, 2017), this lovely little book even come wrapped in its own endpapers in repeat prints of bright presents and opens to reveal the love and fun of the season. This little book of Christmas beauty is a gift in itself for little ones just learning about the holiday. Share it with Carle's companion book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar's Christmas 123.
