Animal kingdom and clocks

This book tells the story of a grouchy ladybug who didn't want to share the juicy aphids that he found on a leaf with anyone else. He decides to fight over the aphids with another ladybug, but then determines that she is too small, so he goes off in search of a more worthy opponent. As each hour passes, he encounters another creature, larger and more fearsome than the last, and he dismisses each one in turn until, tired and hungry, he ends up back at the leaf again to share the last of the aphids with the friendly ladybug. The book is not very scary, and animal lovers will get a kick out of it, since it includes so many different creatures. There is a focus on simple time telling in the book. The book contains about 800 words.

Excellent

I love this book, Some critics say this book teaches children to fight and be grouchy for no reason, but it does have a good moral to it. Reading is for entertainment, not to live by. Eric Carle is trying to build that interest to read and this book does a good job of it. Also, coming from a teacher, this is a good book to read when introducing time, and there are several activities you can find online to go along with it.
