Book Reviews of Eric Carle's Animals Animals
Book Review: THIS ONE BELONGS ON EVERY CHILD'S BOOK SHELF
Summary: 5 Stars
This oversized book does indeed belong on the bookshelf of every child. They just do not come much better. The wonderful art work by Eric Carle is worth the price of the book alone (If I could afford it, I would dearly love to have one of his originals hanging on my office or home wall). The entire book is made up of Carle's wonderful paintings of various animals, and each is accompanied by a poem written by some of the best poets in the world. The author has included the works of Ogden Nash, Rudyard Kipling, John Gardner, Jack Prelutsky, Ben Franklin, The Talmud, Emily Dickinson, D.H. Lawrence and many many more. The research that went into this book must have been quite a task, but the author has done his job well! This is a wonderful way to expose a child to great art and to great poetry at the same time. Each poem or rhyme fits the animal being depicted perfectly. A word of advise to parents...some of the poems, for instance, some of the work by Nash, have "made up" words in them. Most children are bright enough to figure this out for themselves, but for those children that have not been exposed to this particular mode and technique, it may take some adult explaining. They may not be able to, or be mature enough, to appreciate these wonderful play on words. This is a minor detail though and not of great concern. While this work is considered a "children's book," it can be enjoyed by adults just as much. Good art and good poetry have no age limits. This work, due to it's size, is ideal to read to a class room full of kids or just a good book for a quick bed time read. recommend this one highly.
Summary of Eric Carle's Animals Animals
Eric Carle's distinctive art holds a place of honor in the world of children's books. (He is the creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and the illustrator of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?.) In this thoughtfully selected collection of poems about animals, you'll meet creatures of every sort, from an ant to a yak. You'll find selections from many cultures, penned by celebrated poets such as Lewis Carroll, Ogden Nash, Rudyard Kipling, Emily Dickinson, and Jack Prelutsky. Animals, Animals is best suited for older preschoolers and children in the early elementary grades, but the beautiful illustrations will please children of any age, including babies. The oversized format lends itself well to Eric Carle's bright collages--the animals, birds, and insects seem ready to jump or fly right off the pages. (Ages 1 to 8)A dynamic collection from the internationally-acclaimed author and illustrator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar
From leaping, flying fish to dancing butterflies, and camels that "trollop along," Eric Carle's brilliant and colorful collage designs bring to life animal poems from such diverse sources as Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll, Rudyard Kipling, Emily Dickinson, and Jack Prelutsky, as well as Bible verses, Japanese haiku, American Indian poems and more. This celebration of the wonder and variety of earth's animals is "joyous...a book to be shared" (Booklist, starred review).
