'Synopsis
This much-loved classic picture book follows the caterpillar's week while he eats through a range of foods in preparation for his hibernation and subsequent appearance as a beautiful butterfly. With its die-cut pages and holes to explore, this is a richly satisfying book for children. The cuddly caterpillar toy can be pushed through the giant holes as children follow this simple, hopeful story. '

Have you read the Bad Tempered Ladybird? I got that one along with the ones you've listed
Hungry caterpillar was always my favourite.

Our copy has little holes in the fruit pages that little fingers can poke through. His best loved toy is a crocheted caterpillar that I made before he was born to look like the one in the book. We have to cuddle "cacky-ca" when we read the book of course as it's about him!
Bear Hunt is fabulous because it's so dramatic! He loves the sounds (the mud, the swishy grass etc) and recently he's started waking up in the night and saying bits of it to himself- especially the "Ah oh, mud!" bit
I love reading to him so much that sometimes we go to bed early to get a full 45 mins in- though this tends to excite him too much as we have a proper "rumpus" like Max and the monsters in Where the Wild Things Are and stomp around the room growling! Lol! I've been wanting to share those books with someone little for years- love it!
We also like Peace At Last and Whatever Next by Jill Murphy with the bear family. Peace At Last is a really good one for babies as it has sound effects too like a ticking clock and a dripping tap etc- all things they might hear or see in a house anyway everyday.
I think most places have a Bookstart scheme where you can get free packs with books and activities aimed at babies and toddlers from your library. Worth checking out if you haven't already as we just got the toddler pack and got a free copy of Walking Through The Jungle as well as various other stuff, it's really good.
I hadn't heard of The Big Red Bath- off to add it to my (cough) Mel's Amazon wish list!

When I was training to be a teacher at college we had a children's literature seminar and we had to do all the actions! It was hilarious!
