The 50th Anniversary Of The Very Hungry Caterpillar - Giveaway


Ad - This post features gifted items.


The Very Hungry Caterpillar is hands down one of the most well known and well-loved children's books in existence. It's a book that has been adored for generations, by children and grown-ups alike. It's now been 50 years since it's release and it's still up there with the best, it truly is iconic. It's quite endearing to have my own childhood memories of this story and to now be able to share its magic with my own children.


To mark the occasion Noah and Ava recieved a huge box filled to the brim with The Very Hungry Caterpillar merchandise. Inside we discovered;

The kids were so excited when unboxing the goodies and both screeched in delight with each product. It's such an impressive range of products, there's literally something for every age or interest. I found this great because it meant that Noah and Ava wanted to open different things and there was no squabbling in sight.

Ava went straight for the book, whilst Noah wanted to open the board game. They dressed in their costumes within minutes and were both crawling around the floor like to giant caterpillars. Every product is made true to the brand and with such care and quality. I'm so impressed with everything we received.


I've lost count of how many times we've reread The Very Hungry Caterpillar since our goodies arrived last week, but I'm not complaining! If anything it's reminded me how much we love this story, so much so that I've decided to give away this copy here on the blog (we already own a copy!) To enter simply use the Gleam form below.
