My five-year-old twins LOVE books (something that makes this bibliophile ecstatic!) and I'm always looking for cute new books they would like to read. I saw this one just before Valentine's Day and thought it would be a cute book to read on Valentine's Day. I also ordered one for our nine-month-old nephew and our four-year-old nephew because lots of kids have read and enjoyed The Very Hungry Caterpillar!
Love from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a book written by Eric Carle, who wrote
The Very Hungry Caterpillar
, a book many parents will recognize. This book welcomes back that same caterpillar to tell children about love. This hardcover book is the size of a gift book, measuring 5 3/4 inches by 7 inches and has glossy paperback pages.
I was excited to receive this book for my kids but we were honestly disappointed with it. Based on the recommended age range for this book (3-5 years), this book should be good for them but it seems to be written for a much younger audience. Each set of pages only has a few words, along with the same types of pictures as in the original Very Hungry Caterpillar book and it only took us about a minute to read through it. The message behind the book is definitely cute but I think kids older than three would be more likely to become bored with it. We've only read it once and my kids haven't asked to read it again.
I think this is a cute book but it is marketed at an older audience than it should be. If the publisher were to print this as a board book instead, I think this would be a great book for babies and toddlers because of the more durable pages. Had we known more about the actual content, I wouldn't have purchased it for ourselves but we will keep it anyway and possibly give it to friends with younger kids.

I Love The Very Hungry Caterpillar <3
By Lily Pop on February 13, 2018
I love The Very Hungry Caterpillar and so does my son. I got this one for him for Valentine’s Day. The story is simple and the illustrations are lovely (I took a few pictures to give you an idea). I love this cute, little book and you will too.

Beautiful book!
By Kristy on February 23, 2020
I got this book for my 6 month old daughter for Valentine’s Day. I also wanted to use it for her Vday photos. The books is pretty small in size, so it was perfect for her little hands to hold. It has a cute message and beautiful pictures. Not many words, so it’s great for younger children.
