Quiet book with entertaining fabric pages incl. backpack.

Discover My First Book “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, a lovingly hand-sewn Montessori quiet book featuring the well-known little caterpillar from Eric Carle's picture books. Every page is its own little play world made of felt: your child can feel, sort, match and take the movable felt figures along to the next page.

The book was designed especially for small children's hands. Like all My First Book quiet books, it is full of sensory, interactive elements to feel and thread – buttons, hook-and-loop fasteners, laces, zippers and removable felt pieces. In this playful way, fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and concentration are nurtured – fully in the spirit of Montessori education and without overwhelming your child. Because the book works without a screen, sound or batteries, your child stays calmly and independently occupied.

A matching children's backpack is included, making My First Book “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” the ideal companion for on the go. Whether on car journeys, in a restaurant, in the waiting room or while travelling – the book is safely stored, easy to carry and always within reach. This way your child can proudly carry their favourite book themselves.

„There is a strict neuro-functional link between fine motor skills (such as grasping small objects) and language development in young children. Hand-mouth coordination develops into hand-brain coordination; tactile dexterity is a direct predictor of vocabulary at the age of three.“

A great Montessori book

We're Montessori fans and thrilled with My First Book! It's wonderful to have a meaningful, practical toy with us even when we're out and about.

Laura Timmermann
The perfect gift

A bullseye! We gave My First Book to our older daughter and she is absolutely captivated. It's wonderful to see how she plays with the book, by turns excited and focused. The quality and the learning effect are fantastic!

Calm and focus for better sleep

When a child has trouble falling asleep, it's often due to a lack of calm phases or sensory overload. With My First Book the child becomes self-effective and gently settles down through focused activity.

Irina Kaiser (sleep & attachment expert)
Pedagogically convincing

I'm convinced by the quality. The lovingly crafted design and the well-thought-out playful elements support children in an age-appropriate way. An all-round successful concept!

YOU HAVE QUESTIONS,
WE HAVE ANSWERS.

Here's everything you need to know about starting your My First Book journey.

Our books encourage independence in the Montessori spirit, so children can often stay absorbed on their own for a surprisingly long time. That said, they are also wonderful bridges for time together: use the pages to invent stories, name colours or do first counting exercises. Depending on the moment, the book turns from quiet solo play into a shared family experience.
Yes, the name says it all: our quiet books are designed to create a calm, focused play environment. That also makes them the perfect companion in the car, on a plane or in a waiting room.
Following the guiding idea „help me to do it myself“, our books support independent learning without pressure to perform. Thanks to the hands-on design, children find solutions entirely on their own and learn from their own attempts, without being able to do anything „wrong“. This built-in self-correction strengthens confidence and lets every child develop intuitively, through play, at their very own pace.
Because our books are made for intensive discovery and years of play, we've planned ahead: if an element does go missing in the bustle of daily life despite all care, there's no need to worry. Just get in touch with us directly. We offer a straightforward replacement service for individual parts on all our books, so your quiet book stays complete and ready to play for generations.
Our quiet books for 1–3 years focus on training fine motor skills. With hook-and-loop fastenings, buttons and zips your child learns, through play, the movements it will need later in daily life – getting dressed, for example. For more detail, have a look further up this page, where we show exactly how your child benefits from our books.
Our quiet books are designed as „quiet islands“. The hands-on activities build focus and patience, so many children play deeply concentrated for long stretches – entirely without a screen.
Our books are made for real family life: light marks wipe off the quiet books quickly and easily with a damp cloth.
The main difference is the scope and the difficulty of the activities: our 3–6 collection has 16 pages instead of 10, so it is considerably more extensive and designed for the growing abilities of older children. The puzzles are more complex and train fine motor and cognitive skills even further, with tasks such as tying bows, counting and trickier fastenings. We recommend the large books from 3 years, but your child can start earlier. Because our books are made so safely that nothing can be swallowed or „done wrong“, every child learns at their own pace, entirely in the Montessori spirit. In the end it is a parent's decision whether to start straight away with a large book or – what we recommend for the best development – to build the learning steps deliberately across the different age stages.
