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.
I want this art on my wall! Love, Love, Love it! :)

We ran into you today with our 8 month old twin girls at the lake but we were in a hurry and I wish we could have spoken to you more. Thank you for your books Mr. Carle, our family enjoys them immensely. I have been reading Brown Bear Brown Bear What do you See to my girls since they were about 2 months old and I really think it is their favorite with the bright illustrations and repetition. Their eyes light up when I read it. Thank you again for your work and love for children.
ReplyDeleteYes! I thought you looked familiar. I have Brown Bear, Brown Bear memorized, and my wife read it to the girls on the way home from the lake. It was a pleasure to meet you.
