Calm with the Very Hungry Caterpillar review


Calm with the Very Hungry Caterpillar

This beautiful little gift book features a simple, easy-to-follow journey to relaxation, perfect for children and adults of all ages.(goodreads summary)






Everyone is familiar with The Very Hungry Caterpillar story but this book is a little different.  It gently guides young children through simple relaxation techniques to help calm the mind.  The words are very simple and soothing by offering ways to relax and reduce stress when they are feeling out of sorts.  It would be an easy wind down time story in a preschool setting or at bedtime. I also see this fitting for Special Education students in need of a break from daily overloads.   In addition, it is just the right size for little hands to hold.  I read it twice in a row and after the second time I did feel a bit more relaxed myself.  I think this is a "just right book" for ages 3-6.~
