Explore with Eric Carle's books

As a mother, you always want to get the best for your child. Education is highly subjective, that's why when we started choosing educational materials for our child it was a constant research and understanding what your child wants.

 
Of the many books that my daughter reads daily, Eric Carle's books top the list. Currently, she has 8 of the many books of Eric Carle. The very first book she owned was surprisingly also the very first book that Eric Carle published--- Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? Immediately, she requested this book to be read to her every single day. She was only 11 months when she first read it, until this very day and she is now almost 20 months, she continues to pick this book from the lot.

 
If you are wondering why I highly regard Eric Carle's books, it's really simple. He has a great way of telling stories. The words do not come as intimidating, and rhymes are easy on the tongue. The stories can be converted in games or something interactive with your child, it makes reading and learning more fun. It also helps that the art he uses is not complicated and less crowded. Eric Carle does not need to disguise his books as "too educational" for you to buy it.

 
It's amazing how Eric Carle was able to capture the attention of children through his beautiful art and wonderful stories. He had his first book published in 1967, and four decades later, he continues to give our children, and even us, remarkable arts and stories.
