    THE ICONIC #1 BESTSELLER • The all-time classic starring the world’s favorite caterpillar—now with bilingual Mandarin-English text!

    In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf.

    One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and—pop!—out of the egg came a tiny and very hungry caterpillar.

    月光下，一颗小小的卵躺在叶子上。

    一个周日的早上，暖暖的太阳升起来了，然后，“啪！”的一声，卵中爬出了一只小小的、好饿的毛毛虫。


    So begins the journey of Eric Carle’s most beloved storybook character. Follow along as one of nature’s loveliest marvels eats his way through an amazing variety of foods as he prepares to grow into a beautiful butterfly!

    Featuring interactive die-cut pages, this board book is the perfect size for little hands and great for teaching counting, days of the week, and the concept of change as a positive and necessary part of life.
