LEADING charity Action for Children is teaming up with The World of Eric Carle™ and encouraging children's centres, nurseries and groups for under-5s in West Devon to host a Giant Wiggle event on The Very Hungry Caterpillar Day, March 20.

The day marks the start of the 45th anniversary celebration of the UK's most read children's book, and 2014 marks Action for Children's 145th year.

Jamie Lee, fundraiser at Action for Children, said: 'By hosting a sponsored Giant Wiggle at your centre you will be helping us continue to support vulnerable children, young people and families in the heart of communities in Tavistock, and across the UK.'
