Story
The witch and her cat fly happily over forests, rivers and mountains on their broomstick until a stormy wind blows away the witch's hat, bow and wand. Luckily, they are retrieved by a dog, a bird and a frog, who are all keen for a ride on the broom. It's a case of the more, the merrier, but the broomstick isn't used to such a heavy load and it's not long before...snap! It breaks in two! And with a greedy dragon looking for a snack, the witch's animal pals better think fast.

Lovely story, magically brought to life.
Where does The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Other Stories rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is a lovely audiobook of the famous children's story. The music featured during the story really brings it to life, and makes it more entertaining for little ones to listen to. There are more stories featured in this audiobook too, not just the Very hungry Caterpillar which was a nice surprise.
What other book might you compare The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Other Stories to, and why?
My two year old toddler really likes to hear short stories such as this and Brown Bear, Brown Bear What do you see? The addition of music to of these relatively short stories, makes them very entertaining and engaging for very small children.

Read all the negative reviews before buying and don't agree with any of them! The music, the narration... Everything is beautiful and magical. My favourite audio books as well as the kids! Wish they did this for more Eric carle books or more children books in general ❤️
