The Very Hungry Caterpillar's Favorite Words Book

There's not a whole lot to this book. It is a collection of nouns paired with Eric Carle's illustrations of those nouns. Carle does pair some of the nouns, like cocoon and butterfly, which gives the book some sense of flow, but mostly it is a reading tool without a story. While the tiny board book may feel good in a baby's hands and they may like to imitate older siblings who can hold a full sized board book and read a more advanced story, it will be quickly outgrown when those children graduate to the original A Very Hungry Caterpillar and it will not be a story to which they return since there is no story to return to.
