Hermie & Friends: Hermie, a Common Caterpillar

“Hermie & Friends: Hermie, a Common Caterpillar” is a children’s book by Max Lucado in a new, easy to read format.
The book’s description says the following:

“Hermie and his friend Wormie have always felt common. They don’t have stripes or dots, they aren’t very strong, and they can’t find anything special about themselves. But every time they pray, God tells them that He loves them all the time just as they are and that He isn’t finished with them yet. When Hermie becomes a beautiful butterfly, he realizes just how special God’s plan is for him!

This classic story has been revised for kids to read and enjoy on their own as a Lever 2 Reader. With fresh new art and a story kids can read themselves, plus a new, low price—this classic story will find a whole new generation of kids who love Hermie and his garden friends!”

I read this book in it’s e-book format, using a Mobi Reader on my PC. I found this format layout better for my PC than the Kindle Reader, with the text and illustration breakdown better. The book is listed for Level 2 readers, but it doesn’t explain exactly what age or reading level this is referring to. Maybe it has more of an explain on the book copy, but I thought it could had explained that a bit more clearly on the e-copy as well.

This is a beautiful book with a timeless truth and message – that God loves each one of us just the way we are, that He has a special plan for each of us and our lives and that in many – if not most cases, He’s not done with us yet.

Disclosure: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
