(Fun fact: when my oldest was first reading this book he pronounced the author’s name as Urlich Krill.)

On its surface this appears to be a book about a hungry caterpillar. In some respects that is true, but it’s also more than that. The caterpillar represents all of us. A blob, a being that hungers. The caterpillar hungers for food but you can hunger for almost anything
