A pair of baby showers this weekend ..... a pair of visits to the stores ..... a pair of registries from which to select 'just the right something.' Attached to each registered gift, however, was an added gift of our own selection ..... "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," an audio/video adaptation of selected books by Eric Carle. A VHS tape served us VERY WELL when our boys were younger ..... it's on DVD now.Carle's illustrations are lightly-animated (losing none of their vibrant, colorful imagery), and combined with readings by Roger McGough and Juliet Stevenson, and wonderful original music by composer Julian Nott. It's a product that entertains, even enchants the child ..... without driving the parents out of the room the way a certain purple dinosaur might.
