Eric Carle, the author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Very Grouchy Ladybug, and many more favorite picture books, answers questions and provides information about the book creation process on this official website. Carle’s books are perfect read-alouds for young children because the stories use sequence, patterned text elements, and descriptive vocabulary. Illustrations are colorful and engaging images created with a collage technique, using hand-painted papers. The site features a link to The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, as well as a schedule of author appearances and an extensive author Biographical section.
