"...With a four-year-old, Eric Carle’s colorful stories are a staple in my home, with Brown Bear, Brown Bear and The Very Hungry Caterpillar as particular favorites. The vibrant illustrations, animated animals, and simple but powerful stories are ideal for young children. As is The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show at Imagination Stage, bringing the pages from two to three dimensions with eye-catching puppets in a beautiful, vivid environment."

MD Theatre Guide - Highly Recommended

"...Eric Carle's children's stories-which he started publishing almost 60 years ago with "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" and have sold tens of millions of copies-are the topic for Imagination Stage's remount of the beautiful "The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show." See this show for the wide array of colorful puppets, the movement of both the puppets and the actors deftly handling them, and the music which so beautifully sets the mood of amazement and wonder."
