Eric Carle is acclaimed and beloved as the creator of brilliantly illustrated and innovatively designed picture books for very young children. His best-known work, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, has eaten its way into the hearts of literally millions of children all over the world and has been translated into more than 62 languages and sold over 41 million copies. Since the Caterpillar was published in 1969, Eric Carle has illustrated more than 70 books, many best sellers, most of which he also wrote.

Carle says: "With many of my books I attempt to bridge the gap between the home and school. To me home represents, or should represent; warmth, security, toys, holding hands, being held. School is a strange and new place for a child. Will it be a happy place? There are new people, a teacher, classmates - will they be friendly? I believe the passage from home to school is the second biggest trauma of childhood; the first is, of course, being born. Indeed, in both cases we leave a place of warmth and protection for one that is unknown. The unknown often brings fear with it. In my books I try to counteract this fear, to replace it with a positive message. I believe that children are naturally creative and eager to learn. I want to show them that learning is really both fascinating and fun."

Eric Carle has two grown-up children, a son and a daughter. He divides his time between the Florida Keys and the hills of North Carolina.

I liked how the book was divided into lower & upper pages. This allowed the children to locate the number that corresponded to the objects on the top of the page. A good learning tool

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2014

I love the split page design. It adds a level of interaction to a number book, that goes beyond just seeing number and image on a page - the child can actually go about the book, count and find the right combination. Sturdy, too. Very happy with this and will purchase the other books from the series as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teaches problem solving skills from early on

Amazing! When I first saw the book, I didn't get it, but I looked it up on YouTube and immediately bought it for my 1 year old daughter. I'm a high school math teacher and am so excited that this book can help my daughter learn problem solving skills while she's learning her numbers. The idea is this: each top page has a number and each bottom page has an amount of objects. The goal is to match up the correct number with the correct amount of objects!

In my opinion, this is better for my ten month old daughter right now than the writer's more well known book (The Very Hungry Caterpillar.) This is one of her favorite books at the moment and she loves it when I go through the book to look for the matching pages and count for her. Great way to teach numbers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Title is Misleading
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2021

The media could not be loaded.
 These books will be great!...when my son is *older* and ready for a challenge after already having his shapes, colors and numbers down for the most part...! These books aren't exactly appropriate for the age that the title suggests; they're not ideal for a baby's *first* introduction to numbers, shapes and colors, because as you can see in my video, the pages are all split. It's a matching book as in, 'Let's find the split page with the item that matches the color on this split page.' I'm a little bummed, actually. I love Eric Carle books and have had these saved on my wish list since before our son was born. I thought they'd be perfect for him for handling and focusing on for his age (10 months). I tried sitting down with him to read them, but like most 10 month olds, he got impatient waiting for me to match up the pages and lost interest. Also, the pages are board, but they're thin board unlike the thicker board pages you often find in books for infants and small toddlers. I'm concerned that if I give them to my son to play with and look at for now, he'll eventually bend, crease and tear them up. He's getting to that rough-handed age 😅 I suppose I'll have to shelf these for now and continue my search.

It gives the number and blocks, then it has you search for the correct amount. Unknowingly to my daughter it interested her, and that's why I liked it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Definitely not a first book of numbers
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2017
Verified Purchase
Definitely not a very first book of numbers. More appropriate for a 3-4 year old, maybe 2 if you really want to work hard at it with them. The pages are split and you need to count/match. Gift for my 16 month old, won’t get much use for quite a while. Otherwise it’s illustrated well and appears to be a sturdy book.

Além de números, ainda serve de base para algum vocabulário com as frutas que são usadas na quantificação. O livro é bem legal! Mas, é pequeno. Levem isso em consideração antes da compra.
