All Around the World


I am delighted that my books are enjoyed in different countries and are being read in so many different languages. The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been translated into more than 50 languages! I think that part of the reason it appeals to so many people is because of its hopeful message. Here are a few book covers in a variety of languages from around the world including Greek, Urdu, Arabic, Thai, Chinese, Italian and Russian. Many thanks to all of my foreign publishers for printing my book in your beautiful languages and to readers everywhere!

    Currently I have it in English and German, and I'm working on getting it in Norwegian and Portuguese :) There's a lot of good vocabulary in that book that is easy to learn thanks to the context.
    What a wonderful book (just like all Eric Carle books!)

    Our class is PPC (Pre-Primary) from St Stephen's School in Perth, Western Australia.We have read three of your books - The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The 10 Little Ducks and Draw Me a Star. Oscar liked the pictures, Riley liked the whale singing to the duck and Emma liked the Mummy duck.
    We know you have written lots of books but are you going to write more?

    Our classroom is next door to PPC. We are called PPB and we have also read three of your books.
    Dylan D likes your stories. Jessica would like to read another one of your books. Charla liked the big butterfly at the end of the Very Hungry Caterpillar.
    Chelsea was wondering what do you like about your books?
    Bradley thinks it is amazing how you do the art in the books.
    We hope you can write to us.
