Bill Martin Jr, was an elementary-school principal, teacher, writer, and poet, and held a doctoral degree in early childhood education. Eric Carle's many innovative books have earned him a place in the canon of classic children's literature. Their four books together remain popular with teachers and parents and display an enduring ability to speak directly to children.
When a children's book has a reputation for being a classic, a narrator can be overshadowed by the material. Yet in this case, Gwyneth Paltrow narrates with a confidence and clarity that let the auditory clues and trademark animal collages take center stage. Her voice is steady and pauses regularly for contemplation of the story's menagerie: a hissing snake, a bellowing walrus, and a whistling zookeeper who is followed by a bevy of costumed children. Listeners will surely want to join in with her animal voices. Background sound effects bring depth to the action, and children will love poring over the rich illustrations.
