Forty years later and still a bestseller
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle is a book I first encountered during story time in kindergarten. I was happy to pick it up again recently - in board book version this time - to read to my son. I knew it was a classic, but had no idea that it has been published in 47 languages, as the Telegraph reports, and is currently purchased at the rate of one copy every thirty seconds.

that's quite impressive! i bet i've read that nearly 100 times. (and we have 3 copies of it.)
I think I don't get tired of reading it either...so it must be good. Some kids books get old after awhile. Imagine books for kids that are older than us. :)
