The Very Impatient Caterpillar – Quick Review

The Very Impatient Caterpillar is such a fun book for this time of year! Our kiddo is watching butterflies transform at preschool and this was the perfect companion book. Especially for someone who could learn a little patience!

We loved the other caterpillars who helped the impatient fellow get with the program. And the expressions on all the characters, throughout the book… hilarious! When the caterpillar comes out too early and hasn’t transformed yet, lol. We all giggled.

A great book for curious preschoolers! This is perfect for the 4-6 year olds, and pairs nicely with what they’re learning at school.

By Ross Burach, who has written some other quite fun books! We love I Am Not A Chair and the very funny There’s a Giraffe in My Soup. And there’s a brand new second book in the Caterpillar series, The Little Butterfly That Could!

The Very Impatient Caterpillar is available on Amazon and Bookshop.
