dj. First Edition. First edition of one of the most beloved modern picture books, inscribed by Eric Carle with a sketch of a smiling caterpillar. The inventive story encourages children to count and to follow the days of the week as the very hungry caterpillar voraciously chews his way through the book, leaving a trail of holes in his wake. The result is, in Carle's words, "a book you can play with and a toy you can read." The three-dimensional demands of the narrative, "requiring advanced die-cut and page-punch printing techniques," proved to be a challenge for Carle's publishers, who outsourced production of this first edition to Japan. This is a first printing of the book in a very early dust jacket, with a price of $3.91 on lower front flap, the correct jacket code (A3450) and jacket copy, and "World Publishing / Times Mirror / New York" on rear flap.
