Have a good voyage, au mot d’oeuvre!” is written by Eric Carle and is recommended for children between 2 and 4 years.
In the following I will show whether this children’s book by the author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar is worth reading or reading aloud.
Have a good trip, colorful rooster!
Who doesn’t know the very hungry caterpillar? Both the caterpillar and the rooster – and many other stories – come from the mind of Eric Carle.
I wanted to know if “Gute Reise, bunte Hahn!” * was just as good, if not better, and for that reason I bought it.
I don’t think I’ll buy a used cardboard picture book next time. The pages get really worn out from constantly turning the pages back and forth. So it should be a hardback copy if you want to enjoy it for a while. Our book has the first small tears after just a few weeks. And our cardboard picture book is really badly glued; to put it bluntly.
What is it about?
A beautiful, colorful rooster wants to discover the world and sets off.
Along the way he meets cats, frogs, turtles and fish, all of whom join him on his tour.
But at some point they realise that they have not brought any food with them and that they have no place to sleep. Little by little the animals disappear again and the rooster also decides to return home because he is homesick.
My opinion
Personally, I don’t like the story that much, but everyone can think denmark mobile database what they want. Animals that can’t take care of themselves and find food or a place to sleep? Pretty unrealistic.
I would have liked there to be another reason why the animal
s decide to go home. Homesickness is a good reason to go home, isn’t it? michaela mills It means that you were happy at home and, despite your desire to explore the world, you miss it so much that you want it back.

It’s a shame that the rooster ends up back home and can only dream of traveling around the world, but maybe I just expect too much from children’s books.
You can definitely learn by reading (aloud) – animals, colors and betting email list numbers. First come 2 cats, then 3 frogs, etc. and at the end you count backwards. First come the 5 fish, then the 4 turtles, until the rooster is left alone again. Addition and subtraction are illustrated very sweetly here by showing the respective animals one below the other in the top right of the picture.
