Dear Mr. Carle: I am the Director of a small children's ballet company in Ohio known as the Cincinnati Kinderballet.

Dear Mr Carle. My name is Ciara and I am 5 years old. You are my favourite Author and I really like the pictures in your books. My favourite book is The Mixed-Up Chameleon. I chose this book because I really liked the pictures. I love the part where he says "I wish to be myself" and catches the fly. I live in New Zealand. I can't wait to read your book Friends.
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.
So lovely and touching! Thank you, Eric! :)
