How a small caterpillar with a big appetite changed children’s literature forever – The Sydney Morning Herald
Diary of a Wombat author Jackie French says reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar “one more time” has never been a chore.
Emotions are complicated when an author whose work you love leaves the world, especially if you have never met them.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar has sold more than 40 million copies in 60 languages.
