Review of The curious caterpillar
Posted: 02 Jul 2024, 01:25
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The curious caterpillar" by Julia Williams.]
Our life's result is the culmination of all the decisions we have made. These decisions could turn out to be wise or foolish, but they affect us regardless. Julia Williams' The Curious Caterpillar is an excellent illustration of what I just described.
What began as a little egg eventually became a caterpillar. After hatching, the caterpillar was interested in learning more about the odd noise coming from the tree. Then, knowing very little or nothing about the world, he started his voyage. While ascending, he first saw a grasshopper, who, upon discovering his reason for scaling the tree, gave him encouragement and advised him to pursue his goals. Even though he wasn't sure whether he would survive, one thing kept him going: he wasn't going to give up. He continued on to encounter additional creatures, and most of them, like the grasshopper, gave him encouragement and acknowledged his bravery. Now, the key question would be: Did he succeed in reaching the top? What's up top waiting for him?
I have to congratulate Julia on this excellent article. Even though it was a children's tale, I gained a lot of insight from this caterpillar's tenacity. When he encountered animals like the snake and owl, who even chastised him, I was afraid because I assumed they would have devoured him. Any child should read this book to understand that quitting is never an option, and that there is never a solid reason to say you're too small to do something. The book's vibrant illustrations would keep any young reader interested. This book is so excellent that I have to give it five out of five stars. The editing was excellent, and nothing was worth criticizing. I have to praise the author for such a satisfying conclusion—I didn't anticipate it. I recommend this book to every child out there.
