I was determined to find the perfect target audience for this book and read it to them. Especially after reading about the author. I feel this book deserves a special place on the bookshelf simply for the author, who passed away, I think before the book was even published.
I decided to read it to some VERY special little people I know, and their ages are 8,6, and 14 months.
The story is short, but sweet nonetheless. The characters are cute, Curly Worm, Furry Caterpillar, Mr. Centipede, a Striped Honey Bee, and a Lovely Butterfly.
The youngster in the tale has no feathers, no wings, no fancy decor of any type, and yet, he lives happily. He reveals essentially that God loves each of us the same, no matter that we're different.
The illustrations are bright and simple. I thought the book was very sweet. The kiddos that sat while I read seemed to like the pictures a lot, they chattered along with every page. The toddler, of course, lost interest every minute and a half, then returned as often to peek again.
Overall, I think the book is worth the read.
I received a copy through Goodreads giveaway, in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
My opinions are mine alone. Thanks for reading!
The book can be found on Amazon.com if you're looking to check it out!
