I like Max Lucado's Max on Life (and he's a great source of quotable quotes on Twitter) so I thought I'd try his children's book Hermie: A Common Caterpillar.
I was hoping for a children's classic, the kind that is written for kids but has the adults raving. Unfortunately, Hermie feels like a rip-off of a real children's classic--The Ugly Duckling, translated in Christian-ese.
Instead of a duck feeling so ugly, Hermie is a caterpillar bemoaning the fact that he is so "common." I'm not sure childre...more

I thought these were delightful readers for the young ones to be introduced to!! The morals are wonderful and each child should know that they are loved, blessed and cherished. I thought the messages that each book shared are ones that encouraged positive thoughts and actions.
The illustrations were wonderfully depicted. Each page was awash with colour, making the characters appear charismatic and child-friendly. The read-to-me readers are only about 10 pages long and are sure to be you and your...more

Like the Veggie Tales books, this book has an open meaning of God's truth. He is a plain catepillar that speaks to God. He is constantly questioning and asking God why he is so plain. He is constantly told to wait and be patient, that God loves him how he is. Even when he gets frustrated with how he is, God still gives him the same answer. He doesn't understand God's plan for him until he changes Into a butterfly and becomes a new creation. This book holds a great message for any child who feels...more
Hermie - A Common Caterpillar is another beautifully illustrated and engaging children's book from Max Lucado. My children both love Hermie and Wormie (the two main characters) and whilst my two year old enjoys the pictures and being read to, my four year old engages in a much deeper way, applying truth from the story to himself and others.
A common caterpillar is about how Hermie doesn't feel very special, but how God loves him just how he is, but He isn't finished with him yet! It's a lovely st...more

Hermie, a common caterpillar

Illustrated by Daniel Howart
Hermie the caterpillar has quite a following. He has his own website and a whole line of DVDs and books that children love. Parents also love them for their morals and teachings about God. Hermie’s adventures and talks with God are a wonderful springboard for encouraging children to develop their own relationship with Him. Now children can read about Hermie all by themselves with the new readers. These books are retellings of...more

My favourite Max Lucado again... this one is a kids' book (need to get to some adult books by Lucado)... but what a beautiful story... There is a youtube recording of someone reading You Are Special by Max Lucado, but for Hermie there is only an embellished cartoon that I could find. I like the book better, but the youtube video is not bad if someone wants to find out what the book is like. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxBLAt...
Read this to my daughter tonight as a bedtime story, and she really enjoyed it. One of the things she wanted to know was if Hermie's God was the same as ours. She liked seeing how Hermie turned out and was a little upset that she didn't get to see Wormie's transformation. This is a great children's book. I would recommend it to anyone to read to their child.
My son and I have had the pleasure of reading this cute book. Hermie and Wormie see themselves as common creatures among the others. They want to be different. Hermie as everyone will know turns into a cute butterfly and is happy. My son loved the illustrations and the book. A great read for small kids.
Hermie sees a strong ant, a spotted ladybug and a snail with his own house and wonders why he is so common. God explains that he is not finished with him yet. It is a sweet story.
I was about to give up on this book because these worms are complaining and very whiny but it wasn't that bad.
This is one of Bella's books.
goodgoodgood hello sue how do you do?
I love the books that help our children know that they're not alone. They're not alone when they feel 'less' than everyone else. They are not alone when they talk to God. And, they are not alone when they feel sad.
This is one of those books that will help them to grow and understand. Not only are the words appropriate for a first or second grade reader but the emotions are reflective of them, as well.

Good, solid message of love:)
Of course there is a good message here--it is Max Lucado...but SO CLICHE and overly obvious that I had to drag myself through it (and even skipped over some parts without my children knowing just so I could get finished more quickly). The illustrations and even name seemed like thinly cloaked duplications from "A Bug's Life". Felt a little "light hearted" for a book about our relationships with Deity.
We don't have the book hermie but we have a series of DVD's from him and they are just so cute, to anyone with children they teach great lessons in a way a child good understand them, all about good morals and values and that Jesus loves you!
Love this story! I love giving this book and DVD to all the small children in my life. We all need to be like Hermie every now-and-then!
Hee, hee. I have this memorized after reading it so many times to my children
My Children love this book. Great message!!
