I am not Norton Juster


                      

Because my dear friends Barry Moser and Norton Juster are frequently mistaken for me, the staff at The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art made them these T-shirts, which they wore with smiles on their faces at the Museum's 10th anniversary celebration in November.


Then, a few months later, I received a shirt in the mail from Norton Juster for me to wear at "important occasions" when I would be mistaken for him!
Life is always better when your friends have a good sense of humor.

  1. Too funny! I have to admit, I might mistake the friend to your right (my left) to be you!

  3. How funny! I love this post. And yes you all do look slightly the same but you all have your own special place in my childhood-books-place in my heart!

  6. Dear Mr. Carle,
    My wife and I are writing a book about leveraging technology to improve student literacy. We would love to include a screen capture from your website in our book along with a brief description of how students can learn more about the authors they are reading about. We are working with Routledge Publishing. Thanks in advance for your consideration.

    All the best,

  8. Mr. Carle, thank you for serving to protect our freedom. You and countless others have made a lot of sacrifices. I am doing some research for my book two in a trilogy(this is a fictional story set in the 1940s) and wanted information about world war 2.I thought it would be so nice to talk to a surviving veteran where I can get firsthand experiences. I would love to hear your story!
