Review: Great item, great gift, great price - My son loves the book the book, so this gift was a no brainer. He keeps it with him at night and in the morning. In person it's so cute and soft. The colors are great and the size just right. You won't regret purchasing this, I wish I had gotten it sooner! It's also priced well for a stuffed animal.
Review: Very happy with this purchase! - So adorable in person! Soft, brightly colored and beloved by my toddler. Also, the size was larger than I expected; about half my toddler's height. So, in my opinion, it's a very huggable size. Further, it appears well made. There's no fraying or pieces of fabric or yarn falling out all over the place. I would definitely recommend this to a toddler, like mine, who adores this cute little Caterpillar to hold while she plays the apps or listens to the story.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is it manufactured?  Does it contain flame retardants? Is it made out of polyester and other synthetic materials? What is it stuffed with?**

**Q: Does it turn into a butterfly?**
A: Mine turned into a moth so I got a refund.

**Q: Washing instructions**
A: The label says : Handwash cold water, Do not tumble dry.   

I have yet to wash this version of the little caterpillar but with my old version I have tossed that in the washing machine on gentle cycle and low heat dry cycle , the fabric is almost like a tye dye on the newer one. If you wash in the laundry make sure you don’t mix with whites it might stain on a first wash .

**Q: Features include toy, book and patch. Is all that actually included? Is the color more neon(due to lighting) or just bright green?**
A: Its just the plush. The patch is the one sewn on to the the tail of the plush, The 3rd and forth picture are closer to the real thing. Plush is inspired by the book, the book is not included.

*by T***G on March 23, 2020*

I was pleasantly surprised with the high quality of the stuffed caterpillar for the price. It has beautiful, vibrant colors and is soft! It is a great addition to our baby's nursery! I thought I read that this stuffed animal was machine washable in the description, but it is "spot treat only." Just something to keep in mind. Overall, I would buy this item again in a heartbeat!
