Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Thank You, Teacher from the Very Hungry Caterpillar
Eric Carle · 2022
65/100
👎 Skip It
Carle's signature collage artwork is as beautiful as ever, and any teacher would be touched to receive this at the end of the school year. But let's be honest — this is a gift object, not a book. The content is minimal, the reread value for children as a standalone story is low, and it works entirely because of the caterpillar's iconic status. Worth buying as a teacher gift; not worth buying as a reading experience.
