Was it your sister or my Elly, that liked the hungry Calapitter story?

Probably both, the book was released in 1969 so it wasn’t me. My girls loved it

I’m not sure, it was one of Rebekah’s favourite books. I don’t remember it when I was little & I used to read all Jen’s books, so it probably was Elly.
The Hungry Caterpillar was published in 1969 🙂

The caterpillar are about 2cm long, the grub was about 15cm long and about 2cm wide. The grub would win hands down
