Customer Reviews

Another wonderful Eric Carle book

I have yet to read a book of Eric Carle's that I didn't love. My two year old loves his books. They are so easy to read and the illustrations are very eye catching. My two year old can practically read this book on his own.

Eric Carle Illustrations are Cute!

We love this product because of the bright colors and vivid imagery that Eric Carle's illustrations provide. This book is your basic ABC book, but the bright colors make it worthwhile.

Fun book

Reviewed by Conner Aguren (age 3) and Mom for Reader Views (2/08) Eric Carle's signature woodcut illustrations are laid out in a novel, lift-the-flap, walk through the alphabet. "So do you like the book?" "Yeah." "Which was your favorite letter?" "I like all the letters. I like the pictures. I like the whole book." Parent's comment: There is only so much you can do with an ABC primer. Yet "Eric Carle's ABC" takes it just a step further by formatting it in an interesting flap book. The illustrations are top-notch. He introduces some not-so-common animals to represent some of the letters, though I would have chosen a different animal for the letter `G.' He uses the animal `gull' which to me, should be seagull. A better choice that doesn't have other name variations would have been `goose' or `giraffe.' But my son got to see a `quetzel,' a `narwhal' and a `xolo,' so that was fun.

Great Book

My daughter is 15 months old and loves this book. I go through it with her everyday and we do the ABC's and now she is recognizing some animals. It's a great book!! I just wish the pages were made better because she ripped every page out of the book. I am wondering if they make the book with pages that are like the hardcover..

Eric Carle the author

Eric Carle is a classic author for all children. His work is great for a baby to see easily and yet he has a style that is supportive through the early years of school. His art work is wonderful to look at and go into depth with the child who is interested in art techniques. His work is not only fun for children to have read to them, patterned for them to read back to you but also a learning experience beyond the printed word.
