Very sparse as a child turns the boards to see a creature in the snow. Plus points that the illustrations are double board spreads.

[Rossie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This had a very fun design, perfect for toddlers. I do think, however, it was missing some sort of conflict within the story. But overall, a pleasant time for any child learning to read.

I love this book! It's a snowy day with a very hungry caterpillar, that sees things like a deer or a snowman. A very pleasent winter book. 5 stars!

2 stars (It was okay)

So I read this board book as an eBook so maybe I missed some of the appeal. But I just found it weird to take a caterpillar and put it in the snow.
