Review: Ten Wriggly Wiggly Caterpillars

Ten Wriggly Wiggly Caterpillars
Written and Illustrated by Debbie Tarbett

Publication date: 2005
Publisher: Backpack Books
ISBN: 0-7607-7057-3

Summary:
Ten crunching caterpillars in the bright sunshine.  One fell asleep, so that left... nine!
Follow the adventures of these bright bold 3-D caterpillars in this fun and funky counting book with a surprise pop-up page at the end!

Review:
Another fun book, with the added interest of the 3-D, plastic caterpillars.  We start with 10 and they drop off one by one for different reasons.  But at the end you have a beautiful pop-up illustration of the 10 beautiful butterflies that the caterpillars have become. 

I have to confess to being just as delighted as my little one the first time we read this book and got to the end page and I like seeing first time readers have the same reaction.  The illustrations are bright and very cute, the text is simple and rhyming, but it really is the inclusion of the caterpillars and the end pop-up that makes this quite special.

5/5
