20 Books From Your Childhood You Completely Forgot You Loved

15. The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Few stories as simple as Carle€™s cherished 1969 classic are as engaging or as visually beautiful. As the author recounts the little caterpillar€™s quest for a fulfilling meal, small children are not only enthralled but also given the opportunity to practice counting, as well as learning about a caterpillar€™s transformation into butterfly; it€™s the perfect marriage of entertainment and education. Carle€™s distinctive collage style of illustration makes the tale all the more memorable. The book, which has sold millions of copies worldwide, is easily one of the most classic childhood stories.
