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 Birthday Mr. Carle!
ReplyDeleteToday my daughter turns ONE and she loves your books. Her face lights up when she hears "brown bear, brown bear..."
Happy Birthday! My kids and I love your books and your art.

Happy birthday, Mr. Carle. It was my birthday today, and I spent it with a friend PAINTING PAPERS. My art got launched because I simply began painting papers, then using them to "build" water colors. I taught my friend to explore art by using what I learned from your CD which I own.
ReplyDeleteWe who have treasured your books and visited the museum know what a treasure YOU are, sir. All the best for many years to come.
Happy Birthday Mr. Carle!
ReplyDeleteI shared my daughter's beautiful painted paper collage and caterpillar costume she made on my blog today in honor of your birthday. She dressed up as "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and gave a biography report about you to her third grade class.
You are our favorite author and illustrator and have provided our family with so much entertainment, quality time together, and artistic exploration. Thank you for all of your inspiration. Wishing you a very happy birthday and many more to come!
Our family just celebrated my grandmother's 99th birthday a few weeks ago and we will be celebrating my other grandmother's 90th birthday this Wednesday. Here's to getting better with age!
Love,

Happy birthday! I am taking my grad level Reading Workshop class (we are reading Serafini) and I decided to complete my author study on you! Your books are an integral part of my library. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you! We are co-hosting a blog party in honor of you with activities inspired by your books and artwork! Thank you so much for inspiring our children's imaginations for so many years. I can't imagine a childhood without your books in it. http://theeducatorsspinonit.blogspot.com/2012/06/join-fun-with-eric-carle.html
