About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler is beginning to show interest in role-play or when you want to practice the social 'give and take' of a shared meal. This interactive board book uses the familiar face of the Hungry Caterpillar to transform a simple snack time into a structured social event, helping children understand the joy of hosting and the value of sharing treats with friends. Beyond just counting and naming foods, the story focuses on the warmth of hospitality and the excitement of a gathering. With 3D board pieces that children can touch and manipulate, it serves as a tactile bridge between reading and active play. It is a gentle, joyful choice for building early social confidence and fine motor skills in a festive, low-stakes environment.
