This is the Hebrew edition of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, הזחל הרעב, Eric Carle's much loved picture book first published in 1969.
A tiny caterpillar hatches on a Sunday and starts eating its way through the week: one apple on Monday, then more and more food each day, until a Saturday feast of cake, ice cream, salami and other treats leaves it with a stomach ache. A green leaf settles its tummy, and the caterpillar builds a cocoon and comes out as a beautiful butterfly.
Little holes punched through the pages invite children to poke their fingers through and follow the caterpillar's path, and along the way they practice counting and the days of the week, all in Hebrew. It makes a lovely first Hebrew book for toddlers and preschoolers, at home or in class.
