A little disappointed have paid almost 410 for this. This book is TINY. I was expecting the regular sized book...but the one I got is just a pocket book. I'll know for the future to be sure to read the book dimensions.

The only reason I gave this book a 2 is because the book is brilliant. The book itself is the mini version - what a shock when I opened the post, its about the size of 2 credit cards. The RRP on the back is US$5.99 so how that converts to $15 australian I have no idea. This is the biggest rip off, of a book I have ever bought. So by the time I send it back and they take postage out of my return, I've paid for the book twice. Go to your local bookstore, save yourself the money for postage and get a real sized one for the same price.

Same story but the book is ALOT smaller in size then I remember. It was bigger then, approx 15cm long

this book is very small so take at into account when purchasing for a child

LOVE the story, but was disappointed in the size of the book itself. Maybe i didnt read the description of it clearly, but considering the price it was i really did expect a larger book, not the teeny weeny one that came :(

totally disappointed with the size of this book! I thought it was a normal sized book. Still a great book though. I really learned my lesson to read the dimensions and the reviews!

This was my favourite book as a child, small cute and fun, lots of colourful pictures, it has a good little story and an outcome, starts teaching kids about life, short and sweet, but lovely for the really little ones. an old favourite

Tena koutou katoa,

This is a favourite book at my centre I teach. The children sit down and share the adventure about "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and then interact with the magnetic story.


Ka pai tino rawa ki te pukapuka.

I didn't realise this book was so TINY. I was under the impression that it was regular size. I was very disappointed when it arived.

This was a favourite with my son and I have good memories of enjoying it with him. His copy went to his younger cousin so I have purchased this copy for my Grandson. A fun biik
