My Apron, A Story From My Childhood
This page offers you a brief discussion of Eric Carle's book (a true story), some links to more reviews and a great children's apron so that your child can feel the same sense of pride that the young boy in this story does when he is helping you in the kitchen or with a craft or building project.
Contents at a Glance
Children will understand how Eric enjoys being able to help an adult and learn that an apron is a useful item rather than a identifier of gender.
My Apron Hard-Cover Book
AMAZON CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
I always recommend using the Amazon customer reviews to learn more about an item. In this case, I enjoyed reading user reviews of this book. One anonymous customer says that her 2 ½ year old son loves this book. Jennifer Juday explained a bit more when she said that her son picked up on the uncle's comment that the boy is a good helper. Children love to hear that they are good helpers and helping in the adult world is an important part of this story.

- My son loooooves to be a "helper." I'll look for this book at the library. It seems different that other Eric Carle books and is one that I would not have been interested in otherwise. I predict that my son will get his own apron soon. Thanks for the overview.
p.s. I would like to go to the Eric Carle museum too.
