American writer and illustrator Born June 25, 1929 (84 years old) in NY Moved to Germany at age 6; attended prestigious art

school; Akademie der bildenden Kunste. Graduated and moved back to New York in 1952 with a

portfolio and 40 dollars in hand. Hired by Bill Martin Jr. to illustrate “Brown Bear, Brown

Bear, What Do You See?” after Martin liked a red lobster Carle had done in an advertisement. (Beginning of his career)

From this, he found that illustrating alone was not entirely satisfying and wanted to try writing as well (he excelled).

Began drawing at an early age, even before moving to Germany

Started illustrating to “do something special that would show a child the joy to be found in books”

He has illustrated more than 70 books, most of which he also wrote!

“I will never stop being a scribbler”-Eric Carle

Love of drawing early on

Eric Carle's art is distinctive and instantly recognizable. His art work is created in collage form, using hand-

painted papers, which he cuts and layers to form bright and colorful images.

All of his pictures are horizontal throughout his books. Uses lots of color, but no background color (unless for a

white object). Everything is mostly rounded (due to cutting his own

shapes with scissors by hand). Text is easy to read.

What makes him Different?

The Very Hungry Caterpillar was written 45 years ago (1969). The Very Hungry Caterpillar about a little caterpillar who hatches on day to find himself

very hungry. As the days progress, he begins to eat more varieties of food, and more in quantity as well. Finally full, he makes a cocoon around himself and goes to sleep; waking up a few weeks later transformed into a butterfly.

The idea for this book came to Eric Carle one day while he was sitting around playfully punching holes into a stack of paper with a hole-puncher, when he thought to himself that they reminded him of a book worm. The book worm was then changed to a green worm, and with the help of his editor Ann Beneduce was later changed to a caterpillar.

This book has been translated into at least 40 different languages, making enjoyment for millions of children all over the world.

“They are deceptively simple. I admit that. But for me, all my life I try to simplify

things. As a child in school, things were very hard for me to understand often, and developed a knack, I think. I developed a

process to simplify things so I would understand them.”
