Very Hungry Caterpillar author RIP. The most formidable books out there for children, I'm sure everyone here has seen or read this book. You know, that book that has holes in some of the pages, which made the book a bit more interesting.

Heard about his passing on the radio today.
I'm sure the presenter said that the Caterpillar book was printed in forty different languages and distributed in sixty countries!

I bet he never imagined that amount of success on writing it.

RIP.

Yeah, it may have been the book which added to the interest but still, with how short the story is and how publishers were trying to sell it, yeah, it was phenomenal despite the risk he took taking it to the market.
