Little Learning Library : Very Hungry Ca

Good

These mini board books are delightfully cute and are just the right size for my 15-month-old's fingers. This product is a set of 4 books, one each about numbers, words, colors, and animal sounds. The illustrations are beautiful and the words and pictures are relevant to today's scenario. However, I wish the colors were brighter. The pages are thick enough to withstand a baby's rough use for some time. Overall, I am satisfied with the books because my baby often flips through the pages on his own and names some of the objects.

I don't say this is bad product from Penguin but not a good one also. Book doesn't fit in Indian environment, i mean the book contents fewer pages with one picture on each page. And the pictures don't draw child's attraction. Though it's a best of the best creation by Eric Carl who runs Picture Museum in New York City and world famous illustrator of book The Hungry Caterpillar. I think interpretation of work may varies by country. I found some other board books by Indian publishers which suits my child more. Though it's a best and must have asset.

I am not very thrilled with this one. Most of the pictures are actually there in the bigger Touch and Feel book. So it feels like a bit of a rip off because my kid immediately recognised the illustrations from the bigger book and was fairly indifferent to it afterwards. Furthermore the book on colour is perhaps a bit too subtle for toddlers who need strong basic colours by way of introduction.However, I guess if you don't have the Touch and Feel book then you can go for this one with the caveat that the bigger book is much better than this collection.

My baby like it...

This is a nice book for your child. Unfortunately I felt that the book had a layer of chemicals on it. As our hands and mouth got bitter after touching and reading the book. I freaked out because my little baby tends to put her hands in her mouth.

The small size is perfect for a year old toddler. She has been flipping through it for a couple of months now and is still one of her favourites. She has also been able to associate real world objects to the illustrations in the book. The books have taken a lot of rough handling from my LO and still in one peice.

I didn't like it much as all the pictures have some shady colour which makes the pictures look unreal.. I won't recommend to anyone. Waste of money
