About Me
- Eric Carle
- The Very Hungry Caterpillar is one of the more than 70 picture books that I have written and/or illustrated. I was born in the U.S. and was raised in Germany. My background is in graphic design but since the late 1960's when I illustrated Bill Martin Jr's Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? I have been creating books for children. My illustrations are collages made with my own hand-painted tissue papers, a technique many children have replicated and enjoyed in their classrooms and at home. With my late wife Barbara, I am also the cofounder of The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst, MA.
Happy Caterpillar Day! Mr Carle- my twin girls LOVE your books- they are now 2y2m old and one of your illustrations in 10 Little Rubber Ducks gave me such hope when my liitle girl, Jamie, was in hospital for chemotherapy last year. She had a neuroblastoma and the seal with rainbow gave me such hope at the time (plus your book manage to distract both girls). Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMy almost five-year old son loves The Very Hungry Caterpillar. He wants to read it every day. He'll be very happy to hear it has its own special day today.
ReplyDeleteI love your books. The very hungry caterpiller is the first book I remember "reading" almost 35 years ago. Now my two sons love it, but I have to admit that nowadays I like the The Mixed Up Chameleon even better.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your wonderful books!
Happy Very Hungry Caterpillar Day, and Happy Spring! For eighteen years your books have helped to welcome my Super Star Kindergartners to their new learning environment and friends- I can't imagine our classroom without your wonderful storytelling and artwork.
ReplyDeletejust great!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much to create this lovely book!
ReplyDeleteA Very happy ... Very Hungry Caterpillar Day, to you Mr Carle! Thank you for your wonderful books! :)
ReplyDeleteLieber Herr Eric Carle,
ReplyDeleteMein sechsjähriger Bruder ist ein begeisterter Leser/ Zuhörer Ihrer Bücher und kann ihr Buch „die Raupe Nimmersatt“ schon auswendig. Jedenfalls wollte ich, als seine große Schwester, ihm eine Freude machen und ihm zum Geburtstag Karten für das Theaterstück dazu schenken. Ich habe mich ein wenig informiert und habe ein Theater gefunden, das bisher die Raupe Nimmersatt als Stück spielte (Theater Mär), nur es hat die Rechte dazu nicht, sowie andere Theater auch. Deshalb wollte ich mal fragen warum das Stück nicht mehr in Deutschland gespielt werden darf? Mein Bruder und sicher ganz viele andere Kinder würden sich ganz doll freuen.
Ich würde mich auf eine Antwort freuen!
Liebe Grüße und alles Gute
