> In German, it is called Die kleine Raupe Nimmersatt which, translated word-by-word, means The small Caterpillar Never-sated. I always found that an especially cute name. So if we translated it from german directly back to english, the title would be "The Insatiable Caterpillar". Which is close to original "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" but not quite the same. There is a difference between "insatiable" and "very hungry" - namely the "very hungry" can eventually be sated. It's strange how the translation/conversion from one language to another and then back doesn't necessarily get you the original. It would be like converting $10 to euros and then back to dollars doesn't get you the original $10 ( ignoring fees ).
