The Very Hungry Caterpillar Eats Lunch: A Colors Book by Eric Carle (Board Book)
I enjoyed the variety of foods, vibrant illustrations, many opportunities for questions and conversations, and inclusion of friends to help share the picnic at the end. I can’t wait to read this at storytime! Note: this is part of a series. Breakfast was about counting and was pretty good. Dinner is about shapes and comes out in June. Snacks will be about opposites and come out in November. So exciting!
Up in the Garden and Down in the Dirt by Kate Messner (Nonfiction Picture Book)
So many critters to find and explore. How many roly-polies do you see? How many are rolled up tight? The language is descriptive and a lot of fun. Skunks “snuffle and dig, gobble cutworms...” With beautiful images like the sunflowers tied together to create a house for reading, plenty of creature-packed illustrations to get lost in, and a candid approach to prey and predator, Up in the Garden and Down in the Dirt is a treasure for days when you can’t get outside to play in the dirt.
