Customer Reviews

Eric Carles the best!

This is one of my favorite authors and he never lets me down. This book has an interesting story and is so creative. When we look at the pictures we have lots of fun waiting to see the animals change color but I am also getting my kids to count anywhere from 10 to 20 each time we turn the page which is great for preschoolers. To make it easier to see, we found that once we count to our designated number, we blink quickly and then the new color appears. Buy this for your kids and you won't regret it!

Hello, Red Fox

Hello, Red Fox was about a little frog that was having a birthday party. So of course he told his mom all his friends that he wanted to invite. Some of hid friends were Red Fox, Purple Butterfly, Orange cat, and Green Snake, but when they arrived at the party their was a problem Red Fox was green, Purple Butterfly was yellow, Orange Cat was blue, and green snake was red! What was wrong? I liked this book because it was fun to read and had bright pictures. It also teaches children readers about their colors and to not always judge someone by how they look. I recommend this book for kids ages 2-5.

great

This book is excellent for young readers. It not only has an interesting story plot for children, but it alows them to participate in the story. The techniques Eric Carle used were wonderful and creative. It allows children to learn about colors and little tricks of the eye! Little frog is having a birthday party and while telling his mom who he is inviting we all learn something quite interesting. This is definately a great choice to read, it is interesting for children, and even adults!

Hello Red Fox

The author of Hello Red Fox did a very good job keeping the audiences attention, especially when keeping young childrens attention is hard. He used techniques like involving the reader in the story by staring at a picture with a dot then staring at a blank page and seeing that same object but in a different color. Very cool! Kids love that kind of stuff, so i strongley encourage you to get out and read it with your kids!

We like Hello, Red Fox because it is magic.

Hello, Red Fox is great for beginning readers. It is a good book for the whole family. Hello, Red Fox is exciting because it is the first book we have ever seen with magic (optical illusion). The mother frog sees the green fox and then she stares at it and it turns red. Every animal has a dot and when you stare at it for ten seconds, then look at the blank page , the animal changes color. Thank you, Eric Carle, you are our favorite "picture writer" and Hello, Red Fox is our favorite book.
