When I read this book (the hardbound edition) to my 3 year old, 5 years ago, my child loved poking the little holes with his fingers and play finger “peek-a-boo”. It then gave me the idea to get a piece of red fabric, stuffing, and needle and thread. I immediately sew it into a caterpillar like the one in the book and gave two little black eyes. With that we had a playful caterpillar which went thru the holes of each fruit. We also play hide-and-seek and peek-a-boo as the plush caterpillar went thru the holes. This toy gave us hours of story play.
