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.
This is precious! Just bought one of your shirts at Wal-Mart - the hungry caterpillar one, for my daughter! Also, just saw the advertisement for the museum on Noggin - hope to go there someday!

ReplyDeleteCool!
ReplyDeleteWhen I got my doctorate (with an emphasis in literacy and children's literature) my lead professor gave me a print out of Draw Me a Star--the rainbow print. It is framed and proudly hanging in my home. It would be one of the things I would grab if, heaven forbid, there was a fire. Thanks for the joy your art brings to so many.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful as always! Thank you.
ReplyDelete:) Mr. Carle...Thank you, for providing years of smiles and giggles in our home. This evening I read "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" for probably the ten thousand time...twenty-three years of reading aloud to in turn each of our nine children...adds up to a lot of evening spent with Mr. Carle and the wonderful creatures and stories of his imagination. Thank you!

Eric, this is so cool, such a super message. I often refer to your books in my own blog; I'm a teacher and parent.
