Eric Carle love

For someone who loved children's books as a child, I'm a bit ashamed to say that I didn't know that there was more to Eric Carle than The Hungry Caterpillar. We went to the library this week and Albie chose "Friends" out of a book box and I'm so glad he did it has for me everything a picture book should have. It has illustrations that get the senses going and it has a really lovely story, a real "aaaah" story.

The story is pretty mental to say the least it goes from a story about friendship into a big journey and then throws itself into a happy ending but the pictures throughout sum up a fantastic journey and makes me want to travel the world so I can see mountains, rainforests, the ocean and deserts.

In addition to "Friends" we got a few board books to read which leaves us with just a few books added to our #300PBs this week. We're not rushing, we're taking a gentle stroll through this challenge as I have a monkey that doesn't want to sit through paperbacks so we go back through our board books each night for Albie's bedtime stories.

  1. Thank you so much for linking up, and welcome to What We're Reading! I'm ashamed to say I only realised there was was than the Hungry Caterpillar when Kitty was small too - yay for libraries - and I've not come across Friends. It looks lovely though, definitely one to keep an eye out for!

  2. I love Eric Carle. One of our favourites is The Angry Ladybird. Much more toddler like than the hungry caterpillar :)

  3. I know what you mean about Eric Carle, there's loads I've never heard of too although we have a selection on our shelves. I just love the Caterpillar best though, predictable though it may be ;-)
