Q: is this the size book where the stuffed caterpillar can go through the holes on the pages as he eats through the fruit?
submitted by dykandsha - 4 years ago
A: Hi, dykandsha! Regarding your question about the The Very Hungry Caterpillar Giant Board Book and Plush Package - by Eric Carle (Mixed Media Product): I do see that the stuffed caterpillar comes with this, and that there are holes in the fruit, though the holes look as though they may be too small to fit through. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact Target.com at 1-800-591-3869 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.
submitted byTaylor - 4 years agoTarget expert supportA: It looks that way but no, I just received this product in the mail and the caterpillar does not fit through the holes. But the little guy is fun to pass around in the classroom while the story is being told.

Q: The description says this book comes with the caterpillar and a bonus audio CD of the author reading the story. I just got this in the mail but it does not include any CD. Is the description wrong?

Big Version of a Children's Classic!
I’m a preschool teacher and love how big this book is! The illustrations are bright and vivid and the book itself feels sturdy and durable. We love the little plush that comes with it!

Very large book
This is a nice book but too large for my eight month old granddaughter. It is approximately 11.5 inches X 15.5 inches unopened. This does not include the handle at the top of the book. The handle adds 2.5 inches to the 11.5 inches making the book 14 inches tall. The width opened will be 31 inches.

The pros and the cons
Arguably one of the best children's books ever! But where the small board book is too small, this one is too big. The holes are the size of quarters. The holes in other formats' pages are just right for a tiny finger to wiggle through. And the book arrived wrapped in a thin corrugated cardboard mailer, so the handles got bent, wrinkled, and started tearing. The caterpillar plush was adorable, but be prepared - it is small. Great for a tiny one to grasp as the book is read to them. Not a snuggling stuffed animal; think, "toy." I had to return it because the handles were damaged. I tried to buy it at a Target store but they don't sell this exact one. So I got the small board book and a teeter ring with a stuffed caterpillar attached to it for the tiny baby, and later, I'll get the separate plush caterpillar and the "hardcover" book (with paper pages and holes that are JUST right. Never met a kid who didn't love this book...and FYI, the book's author/illustrator Eric Carle is on YouTube reading this book.
