Read by Eric Carle himself with both straight reading and read-along tracks with music. The read-along track has a special sound to indicate when to turn the page.

The bad-tempered ladybird picks fights with every animal it meets, no matter how big or small. But after a whole day of being bad-tempered, the ladybird realizes that life is much better when you're in a good mood!

In this comical story, Eric Carle explores the concepts of size and time, using his trademark collage style with lots of bold colour and beautiful illustrations.

Eric Carle's animals are perfect for illustrating number concepts. One: giraffe. Two: giraffe and elephant. Three: giraffe, elephant, and bear. In this book, readers count all the way up to ten as each page has a corresponding number of animals to point out. The last page features a flip book of all the numbers to count out loud. The padded cover is perfect for little hands.

This much-loved classic picture book follows the caterpillar's week while he eats through a range of foods in preparation for his hibernation and subsequent appearance as a beautiful butterfly. With its die-cut pages and holes to explore, this is a richly satisfying book for children.
