The
Very Hungry Caterpillar
(Book Review by Kylie
Ardill)
Book written by Eric Carles
| From Eric Carles Very
series comes The Very Hungry Caterpillar. This book has been
around for a while but I've been reading it with my son of late
and wanted to share it with any of you who haven't yet read it
with your children. |
We've been enjoying the reading. The
book is about a caterpillars journey from it's egg hatching through to
becoming a beautiful butterfly and this is one mighty hungry
caterpillar. The illustrations are stunning and it's got little holes
in the images of all the food that the caterpillar eats through which
the kids love looking at, sticking their fingers in -- if it's my son,
even their tongues!
Through this book my son has learned
that caterpillars become butterflies and insists on watching all the
caterpillars in our back yard should he miss seeing them turn into a
butterfly. It's led to cocoon hunts in the yard, I am determined to
find a cocoon for him to see, we're yet to hit success.
The book is full of colour and
wonderful images. Also in the series are The Very Quiet Cricket and
The Very Clumsy Click Beetle.
