Kids Books Review - The Mixed-Up Chameleon by Eric Carle

Recommended Age group for readers: 3 to 7 years.

My daughter loves this book so much. Another  great story from Eric Carle.

This chameleon think that he is living not so exciting life. Then he visits a zoo one day. And sees variety of animals and then dreams to become like them. As per his wish he starts getting body parts of different animals and the book starts taking us to a very funny journey. 

It is going to be very enjoyable, you are going to listen lot of laughs everytime you tell this story to your kid.

Kids will surely find it hilarious to see how weird the chameleon looks every time he wanted to look more like another animal on each page.


It teaches to ‘Be yourself and be happy with who you are’ in a very brilliant manner. 

Kids Books Review - From head to toe by Eric Carle

Recommended Age group for readers: 1 to 4  years.

This is a very interactive book. This book too is large and colourful. With this book lots of activities can be done. It is not one of those books to read during bedtime. I am sure kids wont like to sit while reading this book. 

It goes very funny when kids start mimicking the activities done by animals.

On every page there is a different animal that is moving a different body part.

A perfect book to introduce all of the body parts of different animals that we too have.


I’d suggest while reading this book please interact with kids by imitating animals action of stomping, wiggling, bending, stretching and so on. Thereafter I’m sure kids will be reading it alone many a times. 

Kids Books Review - The bad tempered ladybird by Eric Carle

Recommended Age group for readers : 3 to 7  years.

This is another wonderful book from Eric Carle. 

This is a story about a grouchy ladybug. It tells about, how she pick a fight with other animals no matter how large they are. Even little kids now how bullying happens. So they will enjoy when they find out consequences of bullying.

You’ll also know about what aphids are and why they like tree’s leaves. BTW, after reading this book I came to know what aphids are and that ladybug likes to eat aphids.

In the story, the grouchy ladybug refuses to share aphids with other friendly ladybug and keep on challenging the friendly ladybug. Every time she bully other animal, she surprisingly backs down saying “oh! You are not big enough” and picks up somebody else to put unnecessary fight with. She then meet up with a wasp, praying mantis, sparrow, lobster, skunk  and lot many other animals.

Another thing is this book has a mini-clock in the corner of each page and talks about what the lady bug did at that time.


You can tell this story in hilarious manner to your kids too. Illustrations are beautiful.
