The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

[TheBlossomNursery]

we share this story often with our children at The Blossom Nursery - and still love it!

[TSwift40]

im so hungry now!

[isaac11o]

jesus this brings back memories

[morikahjo]

Well maybe if he ever flippin' finished anything he started he wouldn't BE so hungry!

[pyromanizak]

I found a caterpillar in my house and slowly whispered this song into its tiny ear, imagining the horror and torture i was about to bring it... Then it looked up at me and it said "Take me away from all this" So i tied him very gently to a helium balloon and sent him floating away to oblivion. Now i sit and think why did i send him away? He was the only one who talked to me in days, and was actually nice and now hes gone. Im so ****in bummed right now.

[morikahjo]

@pyromanizak :(  I'm sorry

[bungagunga87]

This is the most precious thing I've ever seen. I miss childhood sometimes...

[mikethps]

Hahah I had the VHS tapes of his stories, gah I missed them

[victoriarandolph123]

[TheBonkersCFC]

Damn fuck, I don't think I've ever felt so nostalgic in my life.

Who the hell left all this food out?

[PrivateJason]

holy shit, his metamorphosis had the power to turn night into day. even batman cant do that shit

[iggyslip13]

:D! I <3 this book! :D

[AlanFeckinKenny]

Damn that caterpillar can eat. damn! DAMN!

[tawniexforever]

I honestly forgot about this until my 3 month old son received some pjs that had the caterpillar on it and under it said, "but he was still hungry" I almost cried.

[MsPandaProduction]

Is there a higher quality version of this somewhere? I'm doubting it because I know it's old... but I really really love it. :')

[theminkmink]

@MsPandaProduction Any luck on finding a better quality version of this? I'd gladly pay for one if there was.

[MsPandaProduction]

@theminkmink I did!! I got it for Christmas because it's on DVD. :)

[Joshie1Boy]

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Was Late In The 1980s

[MommyAmandaKaye]

Thank you. Kiddo loves it. I love the accent too :)

[StephanieLisaTara]

fantastic!

[Kathleenm18]

this is great for the kids to learn about bugs and nature

[ObservedFIREFLY]

@Shineshiara16 im 16 and im so gonna tell my friends about how epic it is at 6th form next week its leet, 

[Its12345Productions]

@sofasport had to watch it today in german class. good fun...

[MrPman851]

This is great!

[yoshibug100]

@77sockmonkey i know right? Thats what i was thinking

[77sockmonkey]

why doesnt he just eat the whole thing instead of eating a little hole through it?

[agreatflood2121]

the Narrators voice is different

[moatguy]

I remember this popular story when I was a kid and read it all the time. One year in school an amazing thing I learned was that moths come out of cocoons not butterflies. Butterflies come out of crysilisis.

[rakbooks]

i have on dvd and vhs :D

[rakbooks]

Maybe had to video on The Very Hungry Caterpillar on VHS tape.

[Keitaro2011]

HP/MP restored! ...But you're still hungry!

[MrGigawattblades]

[RazeBlader18]

@MrGigawattblades ditto! :)

[UAintStoppinSome]

@MrGigawattblades me 2! :o)

[Hahanigarscantdrive]

FATTY FATTY CATAPILLA, YOU SO FAT, WHEN PEOPLE SEE YOU IN THE ZOO, THEY SAY, LOOK AT THAT HIPPOPOTAMUS

[QueenWaterLily]

Dude i haven't seen this since I was a kid this story is awesome :)

[TheTinman1996]

@QueenWaterLily Neither have I

[CrazyxArtxWords]

I LOVED THIS BOOK WHEN I WAS SMALL!I remember elementary school had an Eric Carle week; the teachers designed a lesson based around him. (We counted all the food he ate in math, we read the book in reading, and we learned the stages of the caterpillar in science.) In art we made the Eric Carle collage, I have an internship with a local art store...and tomorrow I'm helping them teach 7-11 year olds the style of Eric Carle. It's a wonder how stories like this are passed down to different children.

[SuperTakashii]

This short deals with greed, obesity, rebirth, the beauty of everyone around you and also teaches you about the cocoon stages of the caterpillar.

[XoXoGliTeRzXoXo]

good job i love this book and u made it come alive for me thx:)

[dreamfastgelfling]

Other than the tom and pippo books which where my favourite when I was a kid, I love this story! And as I'm about to become a mum myself, at 24, I'm painting my nursery in hungry caterpillar! Something a little different! Love this story!

It says it doesn't matter what you are, fat, thin, small, big you'll always end up a beautiful in the end! Such a good moral to teach kids these days!

[forwardbutton]

Brings back so

[MrMerlinss]

This is so cute..n beautiful

[nodnarb2151]

my goodness, something so beautiful and so simple at the same time, I'm 17 but feel 40. this just eases my stress so well.

[Redhotice54]

whats the one called where the girl keeps on growing?

[ccaian1]

whats the song in the beginning 

[squadallahthistle]

When I was about 6, I had this VHS, but it had an American narrator instead of a British one. Possibly a dubbing, since it was released then as part of Disney's preschool video collection.

[chors2341]

butterflys you post midosictic cunts

[hollybearization]

Way to call a Catipillar FAT

[xPurpleHazeReaprx]

[firegoat]

not criticising just curious

[trisha1616]

how can this be made into a movie. it just isnt logical. it could only be made into a tv show at the very most

[faithlessmary]

Thank you for this lovely video. Greetings from ESL teacher from Serbia

[fisherdan99]

truly an amazing story EPIC :)

[TOTASS1]

LOL this narrator's voice makes it hilarious!

[Lightspeeds]

Why couldn't this be made into a movie?

I'd pay to see this over where the wild things are.

[Sunshan87]

only if pixar produces it...

[herbie72]

Beautiful adaptation of the book, and lovely music.

[CommanderLightning]

You can say that again. I love the reactions from the caterpillar.

[mazzyabc]

my mom use to read this book to me all the time when i was little :]

[aspire2535]

i saw this when i was in kindergartan

[CommanderLightning]

How delightful. I read a book about this many times, and that caterpillar is really cute.

[KhalidaS]

Ahhh, nostalgia. This story is definitely a classic, and it was really nice to see it brought to life.

10 years later, this story is still great.

[FangzV]

The Very Hungry Caterpillar ANIMATED? :D

It's not the same as having a big hole in the monitor, but it's still awesome.

[teriswat]

does anyone know wat the background music for this is??

[jasonsmansion]

can u post this video in hd please?

[minipoppun]

I've been looking for that one too, the only thing I've been able to find is a rental place near my house and a library in town that had it but it's hardly ever in so I haven't been able to get either

[Delafoix]

I absolutely love the hunry caterpilar I am collecting all rescources. I showed the video to my group of 2-3yrs & they squeal with delight when the caterpillar pops out of the egg. A must have for any & all ages.

[RikusEdge]

God this brings back so many memories, I still remember the music perfectly. Thanks for putting this up, I really need to find this video. God knows where it is, probably in the loft or something.

[AnjaliSB2009]
