Even Google is celebrating this - the 40th Anniversary of the publication of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. My daughter has this book at home, I'll have to read it to her this evening. 🙂

I blame Obama. No one can afford food these days.

You can never trust that caterpillar, the story is full of holes.

Me and my friend were talking about this last night. I remember reading this book back when I was in elementary school. Those were the days.

I remember back when we had gypsy moth infestations, we used to take aerosol cans and lighters and flame thrower the big tents the caterpillars were in.

Fun times back then.

This is one of my favorite books. There was one about a hungry fish that I can never remember the name of that I liked more than the caterpillar...wish I could remember the name...

Best book ever written. Bible wishes it could be that good.

"In a 1999 survey, George W. Bush listed the book among his favorite from his childhood. This raised some questions since Bush was twenty-three when the book was first published.[5][6]"

I remember reading that book to my kids and I really loved it. Especially the great part about eating all the junk food! I was devastated later to learn that the junk food was there for a warning and it was really about how good it is to eat vegetation. I don't like the book as much any more when I read it to my grandson.
