three-stars

One of four books in Little Life Cycles series. Clever cut-out of worm on pages that babies will enjoy poking their fingers through. With a nod to “The Very Hungry Caterpillar,” the caterpillar eats his way through one adventure after another. The illustrations are a bit too busy for this age group and word count for board books should be zero to one hundred; this book far exceeds that limit. If sharing with very young readers, the reader would probably need to paraphrase. The book could definitely be used in K-2 classrooms when teaching life cycles.
