Eric Carle

Opis

Introduced by a rhythmic text, this book takes the readers to a menagerie of wild animals from a roaring lion to a fluting flamingo and a trumpeting elephant. It presents a story combining animals, colours and sounds.

Recenzje

Carle's books all have an educational element - they teach about animals, numbers, colours and nature - but a big part of their appeal is that they are not didactic or laboured, but light and entertaining. There's warmth and humour there too Junior
