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. Sometimes theres even slight indignation: how dare they rest in peace until the series is completed?

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