The Very Hungry Caterpillar - Happy 40th Birthday!


I just learned that the children's book The Very Hungry Caterpillar will be 40 years old this year. I love this book but never realised it had been around so long. The author Eric Carle will be celebrating his own 80th birthday. There is a pictue of the hungry fellow ( the caterpillar not Mr Carle) in case you don;t know who I mean. If you haven't read this book as a child or to a child you are missing out!
This link http://www.carlemuseum.org/vhc40 will take you to a page of the museum website, yes he has a museum, where you can download a template and send out a birthday wish or a drawing. He is collecting butterfly pictures to put on display in the museum for the celebration. For more info check the link.
