Inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar Pop-Up Book

We recently purchased The Very Hungry Caterpillar Pop-Up Book in celebration of the books 40th anniversary. This was my absolute favorite book as a young child and was also the very first book I purchased for my young son. We were THRILLED when we heard that a pop-up version of our favorite story would be hitting the shelves. The special edition pop-up book was even better than we had expected. The pop-up images are big, bright and sturdy and feature interactive elements. The first night we had this book home we read it over and over and over again. It's definitely the most fun book in our extensive collection.

In honor of this wonderful book here are some wonderful products, projects and recipes to try out with your family.
