Review: recommandé - je l'ai utilisé avec ma classe de CE, passionnant. C'est du Eric Carle et les illustrations sont topissimes. J'ai réussi à inventer des exercices d'écoute et de prononciation pour 3 semaines. Review: Poorly printed! Unacceptable quality... - We patiently waited for this for almost 3weeks as we love Eric Carle books but was very disappointed with its quality. It is poorly printed. As you can see in the photos, the texts are so tiny making it so difficult to read (even for an adult). The clocks are also not visible (look at the upper right corner). The pictures in each page also seem as though it were designed for a smaller board book. There’s so much unnecessary white space and the ‘actual book’ is cramped and looks tiny. As you can also see in the photos, the pages seem unfinished. The boards weren’t cut properly. It is obvious that this didn’t go through proper QC as the quality is unacceptable. This is a children’s book, so the aforementioned are quite important. Note that we got The Very Hungry Caterpillar (published by Penguin) and it’s comparatively way better. ## Features - The model9780694013203 - Brand: HarperFestival - This is an ideal item for book lovers - This comes with premium binding. - This book comes with interesting facts. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #33,113 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #91 in Children's Books on Bugs & Spiders #349 in Children's Books on Nature #1,875 in Early Learning for Children | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 4,241 Reviews | ## Images ![HarperFestival The Grouchy Ladybug Board Book - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713yi2xXXoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ recommandé *by C***E on 2 March 2013* je l'ai utilisé avec ma classe de CE, passionnant.
