The Greedy Python (The World Of Eric Carle) Read Free Books and Download eBooks
>In this humorous story about manners, respect, and friendship, a greedy python eats every creature he comes across in the jungle. From a tiny mouse to an enormous elephant, the devoured animals eventually befriend one another in the belly of the snake, where they team up and kick the inside of the python until he spits them out. Rather than learning his lesson, the python sticks to his greedy ways. When he spots his own tail and mistakes it for food, he swallows himself and...disappears! This amusing—and cautionary—tale features Eric Carle’s vivid illustrations and rhyming text that’s been adapted into a Level 1 Ready-to-Read, making it ideal for sharing aloud with emerging readers.

Eric Carle is one of our favorite authors! This is another wonderful illustrated books in his beautiful style (like the hungry caterpillar).The story is about a python that just keeps eating every animal he sees. The python wants to eat everything and is super greedy. Then he gets so big, he finally stops. The animals inside his belly kick, twist, trying to get out. The python feels sick and has to spit all the animals out.Instead of learning his lesson about being greedy in the act of greed he mistakes his tail for another animal and eats himself.My kids thought his book was hilarious. They laughed everytime the python ate more. Super cute book that has to be for 5 and up. I really don't think little children would understand the humor or the lesson. At least children less than 5 years old.Overall, a cute read that I'm glad we have on our bookshelf!
Beginning reader in our house really likes this book as he uses the illistrations to "cue" him into the words. There are many subject areas that can be explored as a result of the book, reading, math, science...For an older child who is slower learning to read, this is excellent as there are multisyllable words and a 'story line' that holds their interest.
What's not to love about Eric Carle? I love that there are now the paperback books instead of just board books so that my 1st grader can enjoy the books by herself without feeling like she's reading a "baby book"
It a a cute book with a rhyming story. Of course, we've all come to expect great illustrations by Eric Carle and he doesn't disappoint with this one. It is an exaggerated lesson in greed that I really don't think my 2 yr old understands, he just loves that it is about a snake. The size of the book is really nice for my LO's small hands.
I like Sric Carle, but not sure I really like this one. I am not offended that the python is greedy and I am not traumatized by the fact that his greed leads him to consume himself, literally, but I am just not sure this really "works" for the young audience it seems to be intended for.
Note the phrasing "The World of Eric Carle" not "by Eric Carle" and be warned! This book bears the Ready-to-Read designation, which means the text is NOT the same as the classic, original Eric Carle version of "The Greedy Python". It's been dumbed-down significantly from the original; the charm and whimsy have been heavily altered by replacing the text with new (easier, and not necessarily improved) words.
I have 3 children, ages 5, 3 & 1. My two oldest think The Greedy Python is a funny book. The illustrations are awesome- as all of Eric Carle's work is. The story teaches a good lesson in selfishness and greediness. The greedy python is eating everything in sight and even after getting too full to hold anymore he sees one last thing to eat. He winds up gulping down his tail and eventually disappearing. It's a really good lesson for all children to learn. It's also easy reading.
This book is nice to read aloud with great rhythm and rhyming and the fact that the art is by Eric Carle is just icing on the cake. My kids love the illustration of the snake after eating the elephant and the "surprise" ending. They don't really "get" the lesson yet, but enjoy the story all the same.
