COPY ISBN
Baby-Toddler–This Christmas tree-shaped book is a fun seek-and-find adventure featuring Carle’s beloved classic character The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Each spread shows the same tree with different colors and decorations, including candy treats, ornaments, and snowflakes. The text is simple, colorful, and features descriptions of decorations along with prompts for the reader to search and find where The Very Hungry Caterpillar is hiding on or around the tree. This board book has a creative silhouette and no touch-and-feel or lift-the-flap parts, which will make it much more durable than some alternatives.
VERDICT A great addition to any Christmas collection. Young readers will love the seek-and-find activity, while adults will delight in seeing this classic character featured.
