Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Brilliantly innovative.” —New York Times Book Review
“The very hungry caterpillar literally eats his way through the pages of the book—and right into your child’s heart.” —Mother’s Manual
“This audiobook includes two versions of the late Eric Carle’s classic story, both equally delightful in different ways. The first version is brought joyfully to life by narrator Kevin R. Free with vivid sound effects and music. Kids will laugh out loud as the hungry young caterpillar audibly chomps, crunches, and crinkles its way through all kinds of food until it is full. The second version is a special read-along track of Carle narrating slowly and simply in a gruff, friendly voice with a slight German accent. Both productions are a great way to encounter Carle’s famous caterpillar, and listeners will definitely want to view the iconic illustrations as they hear the story. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
