Hermie a Common Caterpillar by Max Lucado

This is the third Max Lucado review I've done. The first was One Hand, Two Hands  and the second was Hermie and Friends - A Bug Collection DVD set. We really enjoyed both of them and Hermie a Common Caterpillar was no exception. I really appreciate the lessons that Max Lucado's books teach children.

Hermie a Common Caterpillar is an adorable book, illustrated by Daniel Howarth. The pictures are vividly colored and captivating. In fact my daughter found the pictures almost as entertaining as the story.

The story is about a very plain caterpillar, Hermie, who can't understand why he is so ordinary when there are so many beautiful bugs in the world. Hermie is in for a surprise when he finds out that God has been saving something very special for him. My daughter was on the edge of her seat waiting to find out what that surprise was. I'm sure as an adult you can guess that Hermie turns into a magnificent butterfly proving that, just like everyone else, he is special in his own way.

This book is actually a Level Two Reader so it's aimed at ages 5-8 but the story can be appreciated by children as young as age three.
