The Tiny Seed!

I read the children’s book called, ‘The Tiny Seed,’ one day last week.

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Eric Carle.

It’s a children’s story book about the trials and tribulations of being a plant seed.

As numerous seeds are blown across land and ocean, one by one, they each meet their fate.

Fortunately though a few make it safely to the ground, but it’s not too long before the odd one is eaten by small creatures.

Will any survive and grow to be a weed or flower?

Let’s see, just read the book then you will know what fate lies in wait for them for sure.

It’s a delightful book that I’d recommend reading with young children.

So read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me what you think?

Is The Very Hungry Caterpillar Age Appropriate?

I watched the popular children’s story book called “The Very Hungry Caterpillar on YouTube, narrated by the author Eric Carle.
                                             
The story is about a hungry caterpillar that continuously eats for a week and eventually turns into a beautiful butterfly. The illustrations and story encourages young children to count.

The caterpillar reminded me of toddlers who love eating, trying out different textures of food to help them grow into beautiful children?

The only counting my grandchild can do at the moment is how many spoonfuls are left in the yoghurt pot!

As an adult, this book reads like a calorie counter with pictures, it shows that you cannot eat your five a day and chocolate cake without putting on the pounds, just look at the caterpillar on day seven!

My final thought: it’s worth reading, or if your like me just watch it on YouTube!
