A House for Hermit Crab/Ready-To-Read Level 2 (World of Eric Carle)

This was another of Eric Carls books , which we added to my young granddaughters collection. Her mother enjoyed the fun and simple stories when she was small and her own little one is finding similar pleasure. Wonderful book and well worth a read (over and over again) :)

Helpful for those wanting a learn to read book but you lose the quality of Eric Carle's prose which I most want to introduce children to so, for me, I would recommend less.

Popular at bedtime for my nearly 4 year old grandson

What a lovely story....Goes beautifully with our Rainbow Fish topic at school! Will be great for story time!

Ok

Good buy

i love eric carle and now my child is also a big fan

The writing in this book is way too small for enjoyment with a little one - especially one grabbing the pages or an older one learning to read. Big writing is what is needed!

The book is perfect my little ones love anything Eric carle

Muito bom

My son is three and my mom recently purchased a few hermit crabs that they care for together. I won't touch the things but he loves to hold them and let them walk all over! He calls them his new pets, even though they're a few months old now (we also have three dogs and a fish tank). I thought he would enjoy this book and was right. The story is very cute and simple, telling the year in the life of this hermit crab. He begins by realizing his current home (his shell) is too small. He finds a new one, but it's very boring and plain. He travels throughout the sea finding different types of sea creatures and asking if they'll join him and decorate his house. Each month finds another sea creature added to his shell. But what happens when he again grows too big for this shell? Will he leave his friends behind? Find new friends? What will he do with his old shell? It's a very cute book and my son frequently asks me to read him the 'hermit crab book'. The illustrations are very colorful and fun as you'd expect if you're familiar with Eric Carle's work. Some of the pages have a lot of text, but it keeps my son's attention. We talk about the different creatures he meets and go through the list each time a new one is added. This one is a new favorite in our house.
