The Very Hungry Caterpillar


£ 9 - 13

A stunning adaptation by Canada's internationally-acclaimed Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia

The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Little Cloud and The Mixed-up Chameleon by awardwinning children’s book illustrator and writer Eric Carle are beautifully retold in this glowing stage adaptation with delightful puppetry.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar follows the wonderful adventures of a very tiny and very hungry caterpillar that progresses through an amazing variety of foods towards his eventual metamorphosis into a beautiful butterfly.

Children will delight in the antics of Little Cloud. High up in the beautiful sky, Little Cloud slips away from the rest and transforms itself into various shapes of the things it sees – a sheep, an airplane, a shark and more.

In The Mixed-Up Chameleon, a little chameleon is bored with its life – sitting about predictably changing colour all day. So it decides to embark on an adventurous trip to the zoo, wishing it could be more like the other animals.
