This is an easy read for children with a very amusing collection of illustrations to view as well. Every page is full of color and decorated with a bold font that jumps out at the reader.

The story revolves around a fuzzy caterpillar adventuring in the tall, tall grass discovering the many sights it sees on the way. From sunrise, ending at sundown, each page introduces a new creature living in the grass.

"Hip, hop, ears flop"
"Crack, snap, wings flap"

These are just some examples of who is introduced in the story, a friendly bunny rabbit, and a bright, feathery bird. Children learn to associate and become familiar with the sounds animals/insects make as they read.

Perfect story time read aloud for preschoolers!
