Happy Spring and Happy 45th!

Thank you, friends for helping me to celebrate the 45th anniversary of The Very Hungry Caterpillar! Happy Spring to all!

The month of March

                               In like a lion...

                               and out like a lamb.

What's Your Favorite Animal?

What's Your Favorite Animal? 

A new book with spreads by 14 different children's book artists (I'm one of them) and the proceeds from the book will support the work of The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art!

This image is the cover art for "Favorites." What's your own favorite animal? I hope you will enjoy this collection of favorites, each one so different from the next!

Happy 2014!

Happy Year of the Horse 2014!

Happy Holidays!

All the best wishes for a happy holiday season!

Peace to all,

Eric Carle

A milestone for Mermaid Theatre!

I am delighted to tell you that today marks a milestone for The Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia who will take to the stage for the 3000th performance of their wonderful black light puppetry production of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. 

Since 1999, their magical black light production based on my story has been performed for nearly two million people. I am honored that Mermaid Theatre has been a kind of ambassador for my books through their adaptation of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and wish to thank and congratulate all of my friends on Mermaid Theatre's remarkably creative team.

For more information and for their current performance schedule, you might like to visit The Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia's web site.

Happy, playful and safe Halloween to all!
