HarperFestival The Grouchy Ladybug Board Book

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.

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.

Livro de excelente qualidade.

To me, the theme of this book is about a bully who is all bluff. It is also a story about another ladybug who befriends the grouchy ladybug. The way some of the pages are different lengths and layered is a fun twist for kids. The book talks about hours of the day and includes pictures of old-fashioned clocks (vs. digital). In addition, kids learn about various animals. Illustrations are delightful and colorful. If you are reading this to a nonreader, I'd recommend from age 2 to 2nd graders. If they are readers, I'd recommend for grades 1 and 2, possibly 3rd grade.
