The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by Eric Carle, is a classic children's book dating back to 1969. The title pretty much sums up the story. I've been reading this book at bedtime (not every night, but occasionally) to our four-year-old for roughly 3 1/2 years now.
Over the holidays, a friend gave our son the "Very Hungry Caterpillar Game." It is a very simple board game. You spin a wheel and move your caterpillar, which is basically a little box, around the board. Certain spots on the board require you to wait and consume quantities of fruits, picnic snacks, and leaves. Other spots require you to wait to spin a "moon" on the wheel before moving forward. Ultimately, the game piece reaches a cocoon, where the player must spin a "sun" in order to move forward and become a butterfly.
All in all, it is a great first board game for a toddler.
