Win a Very Hungry Caterpillar bundle!

Happy 50th birthday, Very Hungry Caterpillar

2019 marks the 50th birthday of Eric Carle's iconic picture book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar… and he's STILL hungry!

To celebrate 50 very hungry years, we've created five new gift card designs for booklovers of all ages and teamed up with Puffin and Cawston Press to give away 10 very hungry bundles, each consisting of:

  • A special gold collector's edition of The Very Hungry Caterpillar
  • A £10 personalised National Book Token, with your choice of Very Hungry Caterpillar design
  • The Very Hungry Caterpillar cuddly toy
  • The Very Hungry Caterpillar card game set
  • AND a month's supply of Cawston Press fruit juices!

As a special offer until July, get free personalisation (usually £1.99 per card) on our Very Hungry Caterpillar gift cards – create your own.

National Book Tokens gift cards can be bought and spent in thousands of bookshops across the UK and Ireland, online and on eBooks. Our personalised gift cards allow you to use your own photos and words to create a unique gift for any occasion.
