Eric Carle
Born in New York in 1929
Lived most of his in Germany but eventually moved back to the US.
He returned in 1952 with only 40 dollars and was hired by The New York Times. He was approached by a writer and was asked to illustrate a book he had written. Eric Carle agreed and the results were
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
This is one of my favorite books. I love the pictures and bright colors. His illustrations have a 3D feel to them almost as if pieces were layered to create a picture.Eric Carle is known for Hungry Caterpillar
This lovely book has reached the hearts and the tiny hands of many young children.
It is a cherished book and is celebrating its 40 year anniversary.
