Eric Carle is acclaimed and beloved as the creator of brilliantly illustrated and innovatively designed picture books for very young children. Born in Syracuse, New York, in 1929. His best-known work, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, has eaten its way into the hearts of literally millions of children all over the world and has been translated into more than 47 languages and sold over 29 million copies. His art work is created in collage technique, using hand-painted papers, which he cuts and layers to form bright and cheerful images. The themes of his stories are usually drawn from his extensive knowledge and love of nature—an interest shared by most small children.
