1,23, TO THE ZOO

Story: 1,2,3 To the Zoo
Author: Eric Carle


      Here's another book by the very famous children's author Eric Carle. This time it is a counting book!!! Again, his colorful illustration catches the child's imagination using his unique drawing skills.
     
     There are many books out there that teaches kids about counting but this one takes the bait of not just simply counting random stuff but counting animals that can be seen in a zoo! Children will easily be attracted to this book as it includes animals and what captures a child's attention but animals right? Especially animals that are not common in our household. 
 
     It is also very relatable especially to kids who have visited a zoo. After reading, pupils will start to chatter about the other animals they have seen in a zoo and the teachers can asks them questions like, "Wow! You saw some tigers too! How many tigers did you see?" "How about a turtle? Did you see a turtle and how many are there?" "How many of you saw a gorrilla? Is there a small gorilla? How many are small? How many are big?" and so on and so forth.
 
    I hope you guys can purchase this book but If you can't there are other counting books out there as well in your local bookstore. Remember, when buying a book for your children or pupils be sure they are colorful, interesting, and relatable.
 
    Enjoy reading!!!!

Story: The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Author: Eric Carle
Illustrator: Eric Carle

        The very hungry caterpillar was written by the renowned children’s book author Mr. Eric Carle. Not only did he write the book but he is the one who illustrated and designed it as well.

       The story is about a caterpillar that after coming out of its egg started to feel hungry. So he began to look for some food to satisfy his taste buds. I wonder what kind of food it will eat? (I won’t tell the story here though, you have to go and find out by yourself!)


      The colorful and unique style of Eric Carle's drawing will definitely capture one's attention. It's not just the story itself but there are many things especially a teacher (and parents too!) who can connect it to subjects such as Science (Life Cycle of a Butterfly), Health (Junk Foods) and even the 7 Days of the Week.
         I recommend this book to everybody even if it’s a bit pricey here in our country. Still, it is a good investment. Then again just in case you don’t have the money to buy such book, Just go on to You Tubemand search for the story but I always say there is nothing like holding a good and real book!

Enjoy reading (or watching!)
