''The Very Hungry Caterpillar'' uses distinctive [[collage]] illustrations (Carle's third book, and a new style at the time), 'eaten' holes in the pages and simple text with educational themes – counting, the days of the week, foods, and a butterfly's life stages. There have been many related books and other products, including educational tools, created in connection to the book. The caterpillar's diet is fictional rather than scientifically accurate, but the book introduces concepts of [[Lepidoptera]] life stages where transformations take place including the ultimate [[metamorphosis]] from 'hungry caterpillar' to 'handsome butterfly', and it has been endorsed by the [[Royal Entomological Society]].
==Synopsis==
One Sunday morning, a [[caterpillar]] hatches from an egg. He is known as the Very Hungry Caterpillar, who loves eating, and so he begins to look for some food. He eats through increasing quantities of fruit on the following 5 days (Monday through Friday). First it's one [[apple]] on Monday, then two [[pears]] on Tuesday, three [[plums]] on Wednesday, four [[strawberries]] on Thursday, and finally, five [[oranges]] on Friday. On Saturday, he eats an enormous amount of food (which in reality is not for caterpillars but rather being human food), including one piece of [[chocolate cake]], one [[ice-cream]] cone, one [[Pickled cucumber|pickle]], one slice of [[Swiss cheese]], one slice of [[salami]], one [[lollipop]], one piece of [[cherry pie]], one [[sausage]], one [[cupcake]], and one slice of [[watermelon]]. Then that night, he gets a stomachache from overeating (from all of those 6 days; Monday through Saturday). But the next morning, it becomes Sunday again. The caterpillar ate through one green leaf. And after that, he feels much better. At the end of that, he is not hungry anymore. He is neither hungry nor a little caterpillar. He is a big, fat, caterpillar. The now-big caterpillar spins a [[Pupa#Cocoon|cocoon]] around himself. There, inside he sleeps in it for 2 weeks. Later, the caterpillar emerges as a [[butterfly]] with large, gorgeous, multi-coloured wings.
==Development==
In a sense the book was inspired by a [[hole punch]]: "One day I was punching holes with a hole puncher into a stack of paper, and I thought of a bookworm and so I created a story called ''A Week with Willi the Worm''."<ref name=telegraph-mar09/> Carle was familiar with "differently shaped pages" from books that he read as a child in Germany.<ref name=bird/>
''A Week with Willi the Worm'' featured a [[bookworm (insect)|bookworm]] named Willi. But Carle's editor Ann Beneduce advised that a green worm would not make a likeable [[protagonist]].<ref name=bird/><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.metro.co.uk/fame/interviews/article.html?in_article_id=590323 |title= Hungry Caterpillar author on zoo maths |accessdate=2009-03-20|publisher=Metro.co.uk}}</ref> "Then my editor suggested a caterpillar instead and I said 'Butterfly!' That's how it began," Carle recalls.<ref name=telegraph-mar09>{{cite news | last=Khan | first=Urmee | title=Google celebrates Eric Carle's Very Hungry Caterpillar | date=20 March 2009 | url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/5021384/Google-celebrates-Eric-Carles-Very-Hungry-Caterpillar.html | location=London | work=The Daily Telegraph}}</ref>
The differently shaped pages with holes representing the caterpillar's trail through foodstuffs were a challenge. No US printer could do the work economically but Beneduce found one in Japan.<ref name=bird/>
==Awards and accolades==
The book has won numerous awards, including an [[American Institute of Graphic Arts]] Award in 1970, the Selection du Grand Prix des Treize in France in 1972, and the Nakamori Reader's Prize in Japan in 1975.<ref name="Eric Carle collection"/>
''[[The New York Times]]'' cited it as one of the "Ten Best Picture Books of the Year" in 1969. The book placed at number 199 in the [[Big Read]], a 2003 poll conducted by the [[BBC]] to determine the [[United Kingdom|United Kingdom's]] best loved books. It was one of the few picture books to place on the list.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/bigread/top200_2.shtml |title= The Big Read |accessdate=2008-09-08|publisher=BBC}}</ref> Based on a 2007 online poll, the [[National Education Association]] named the book one of its "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children."<ref name=NEA2007>{{cite web |url= http://www.nea.org/grants/13154.htm/ |title= Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children |author= National Education Association |year= 2007|accessdate=2012-08-22}}</ref>
Five years later, ''[[School Library Journal]]'' sponsored a survey of readers which identified ''The Very Hungry Caterpillar'' as the number two children's picture book, behind only Maurice Sendak's ''[[Where the Wild Things Are]]''.<ref name="SLJ"/><!--Elizabeth Bird, the librarian from the [[New York Public Library]] who conducted the survey, observed / highlighted ... --><ref name=bird/>

First it's one [[apple]] on Monday, then two [[pears]] on Tuesday, three [[plums]] on Wednesday, four [[strawberries]] on Thursday, and finally, five [[oranges]] on Friday.

Then that night, he gets a stomachache from overeating (from all of those 6 days; Monday through Saturday). But the next morning, it becomes Sunday again. The caterpillar ate through one green leaf.

<p>One Sunday morning, a <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Caterpillar" title="Caterpillar">caterpillar</a> hatches from an egg. He is known as the Very Hungry Caterpillar, who loves eating, and so he begins to look for some food. He eats through increasing quantities of fruit on the following 5 days (Monday through Friday). First it's one <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Apple" title="Apple">apple</a> on Monday, then two <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Pears" class="mw-redirect" title="Pears">pears</a> on Tuesday, three <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Plums" class="mw-redirect" title="Plums">plums</a> on Wednesday, four <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Strawberries" class="mw-redirect" title="Strawberries">strawberries</a> on Thursday, and finally, five <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Oranges" class="mw-redirect" title="Oranges">oranges</a> on Friday. On Saturday, he eats an enormous amount of food (which in reality is not for caterpillars but rather being human food), including one piece of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Chocolate_cake" title="Chocolate cake">chocolate cake</a>, one <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Ice-cream" class="mw-redirect" title="Ice-cream">ice-cream</a> cone, one <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Pickled_cucumber" title="Pickled cucumber">pickle</a>, one slice of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Swiss_cheese" title="Swiss cheese">Swiss cheese</a>, one slice of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Salami" title="Salami">salami</a>, one <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Lollipop" title="Lollipop">lollipop</a>, one piece of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Cherry_pie" title="Cherry pie">cherry pie</a>, one <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Sausage" title="Sausage">sausage</a>, one <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Cupcake" title="Cupcake">cupcake</a>, and one slice of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Watermelon" title="Watermelon">watermelon</a>. Then that night, he gets a stomachache from overeating (from all of those 6 days; Monday through Saturday). But the next morning, it becomes Sunday again. The caterpillar ate through one green leaf. And after that, he feels much better. At the end of that, he is not hungry anymore. He is neither hungry nor a little caterpillar. He is a big, fat, caterpillar. The now-big caterpillar spins a <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Pupa#Cocoon" title="Pupa">cocoon</a> around himself. There, inside he sleeps in it for 2 weeks. Later, the caterpillar emerges as a <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Butterfly" title="Butterfly">butterfly</a> with large, gorgeous, multi-coloured wings.

<p>In a sense the book was inspired by a <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Hole_punch" title="Hole punch">hole punch</a>: "One day I was punching holes with a hole puncher into a stack of paper, and I thought of a bookworm and so I created a story called <i>A Week with Willi the Worm</i>."<sup id="cite_ref-telegraph-mar09_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-telegraph-mar09-7">[7]</a></sup> Carle was familiar with "differently shaped pages" from books that he read as a child in Germany.<sup id="cite_ref-bird_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bird-8">[8]</a></sup>
</p><p><i>A Week with Willi the Worm</i> featured a <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Bookworm_(insect)" title="Bookworm (insect)">bookworm</a> named Willi.

</p><p>The differently shaped pages with holes representing the caterpillar's trail through foodstuffs were a challenge. No US printer could do the work economically but Beneduce found one in Japan.<sup id="cite_ref-bird_8-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bird-8">[8]</a></sup>
