ERIC CARLE THE VERY HUNGRY

Only 4 stars as I can’t find a felt board that holds them. 😫

I made a felt board for my 2 year old granddaughter and bought several of these sets that go along with the books. Her favorite is "Monkeys Jumping On The Bed". After a few months of retelling the stories with her along with the felt pieces she now pulls the sets out of the drawer, sets up the characters and retells the story all by herself. These sets are made very well and I am sure we'll be passing them along when she outgrows them.

Very nice set. I cut the pieces out individually so we could count each piece of fruit together as we place them on the board. It extends the fun of the whole storytelling experience. (Plus it just looks better and more realistic without all that excess white surrounding all the images.) My daughter and I have the story memorized from the book so this is a huge thrill for her to see it in another form.

No doubt that I'll be purchasing the other sets-- these are WONDERFUL! I used these during story-time with 10 of my ONE-YEAR-OLD'S and the large, colorful size of these pieces made it easy to keep them captivated for about 20 minutes as we practiced identifying new vocabulary. Worth every penny!

I am a kindergarten teacher and ordered these to use with a felt board in my classroom. I gave each student a piece that they could place on the board to retell the story. The students LOVED this and it really engaged them in the story. i definitely want to order some more felt board stories like this!
