About this deal

On the more brighter note, I loved reading about the landscape shown in the book, it is like I am knowing deeply a character, with its varied shades, in the novel. The fact that such a region exists– with its flora and fauna– is delightful. The immense density of these forests, the presence of white tigers (the Bengal tiger) make this place, among other things, precious. Sort the foods that the caterpillar eats in different ways. Which ones are healthy / unhealthy? Which are processed / unprocessed?

The Very Hungry Caterpillar was adapted for UK television on September 1, 1993. Then on October 17, 1994, it was released as a VHS video distributed by PolyGram Video. [40] After which, it was re-released on June 16, 1997, distributed by Channel 5 Video, a sub-label of PolyGram. On March 18, 2002, it was re-released by Universal Pictures as part of an anthology called The World of Eric Carle that included The Very Hungry Caterpillar along with four other Eric Carle stories.

The mixing of faith and mythical belief in the story made it more interesting for the reader. Ghosh has tried his best to keep the story equally relevant for both the native readers and for the general English readers and he has done it quite successfully. Many of you ask, why the butterfly in The Very Hungry Caterpillar comes from a cocoon, not a chrysalis?". Eric Carle. Archived from the original on March 3, 2023 . Retrieved March 3, 2023. And what's with all the exposition? Ghosh here uses Bengali words, probably hoping they would add to the authenticity. Dude, tiger prawn is known as bagda chingri, not badga. No one speaks the way in Bengali in the way his characters do. Ghosh has, of course, done extensive research on cetology and the geography of Sundarbans (Anyone like me who has been there can tell you that), but sadly, not a single person speaks like that. I can not speak about the elite (the targeted audience), but at least not one person from the social strata that this novel concerns. I liked the book good enough but sat here trying to think of what I wanted to rate it and how much I liked it. I didn't think it was great or bad. Thalia Apple, yes that is her name, is the main character of the story. She lives in a world where there is no food..NONE..we killed the world at some point in a war and now there are no animals or plants, nothing. The people in the book live by taking meds to make them not hungry and it's supposed to be nutritional and stuff.

He married Barbara Morrison in 1973, with whom he had two children, a son and a daughter. Though Morrison passed away in 2015.

Although the execution was poor, I believe that Swain herself is not a bad writer. The setting and events were well described, and I could vividly imagine a few scenes in my head. If not for the incredulous plot, the idea had potential to grow into a meaningful story with a strong message. Richards, Kel (June 1, 2022).

Furthermore, the book placed at number 199 in the Big Read, a 2003 poll conducted by the BBC to determine the United Kingdom's best loved books. It was one of the few picture books to place on the list. [19] Based on a 2007 online poll, the National Education Association listed the book as one of its "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children". [20] Five years later, School Library Journal survey of readers named The Very Hungry Caterpillar as the second-best children's book. [4]The insta-love between Thalia and Basil, however, is even worse. They get into fights often, quarrelling over just about anything. They go from completely in love and unable to live without one another to "I can't believe I liked this guy" in a matter of mere seconds. Now, I understand that these are teenagers we're talking about, and this is how most teenagers roll. Hot-hearted, passionate and acting on hormones rather than stopping to think for a second. And I think that Swain really did manage to capture the craziness of teenage love, I guess I just wished for more maturity and less irresponsibility in their actions. Instead, their relationship came off rather unhealthy, and I don't think that was the intention here.
