I bought this story for my classroom to combine an author study (Eric Carle) and a Life Cycles unit. It is a wonderful, repetitive story, appropriate for infants through 1st grade (or higher). It demonstrates the growth of an insect from egg to adult with a terrific underlying theme of trying until you achieve your goal. The story also involves movement and sound which keep children totally enthralled! A great way to keep those fidgety little ones involved. The children will want to read it again and again! Highly recommended(along w/ Eric Carles' other repetitive stories).
This children's classic is a wonderful book to share with even the youngest children. The illustrations are delightful. Older children can learn the names of the various insects in the story, and the surprise "chirp" at the end is universally appealing.

The story is excellent. I bought it for my daughter, who is an elementary special education teacher. However, the book they sent is a total disappointment. It is much smaller than the one I thought I was ordering. Even worse, the last page is supposed to trigger a cute and pleasantly surprising cricket chirp. Unfortunately, this feature did not work on the book I received. I have noticed that other buyers also have had this problem. Since it is not worth the trouble to return it, it goes in the trash. Lesson learned.
