    This review is about a variation of the product

    A book very beloved by my son who already learned it by heart after just a few readings (at 2.5 years old) and wanted to tell me himself. From there, we learned to count up to 5, we learned fruits, days, and various foods. From there, we learned what a cocoon is and how it becomes a butterfly. A little treasure, just like the rest of Eric Carle's books. Not surprising at all that it continues to be published even 60 years after its first release.

    The little 1.5-year-old was enchanted by Carle's wonderful and vibrant illustrations, which, in his well-known simple way, have created many works that are distinguished not only for their educational character but also for their artistic side. Rightfully one of his most popular works, deserving a place in every children's library.

    The well-known wonderful illustration of Carl, with the shiny, vibrant, almost embossed colors, captivates the children's eyes. Our 6-month-old son is crazy about this book. My only objection is the sharp corners that require adult supervision.
