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...
