ERIC CARLE is the MAN!

Eric Carle is one of my favorite Author/Illustrators so we love to learn about him and read his books in the first grade. He really is amazing!

We have to make caterpillars after reading THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR
We also make a caterpillar cake because well...who doesn't love cake?


Eric Carle has written a ton of books!
Here are some that we really enjoyed
  • The Foolish Tortoise
  • The Little Cloud
  • The Very Clumsy Click Beetle
  • The Very Quiet Cricket
  • The Grouchy Ladybug
  • The Tiny Seed
  • Rooster's Off to see the World
  • Walter the Baker
  • Have You Seen My Cat?
  • The Mixed Up Chameleon
Eric Carle also is the illustrator of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

I would love to visit the Eric Carle Museum someday!

    I love studying Eric Carle, his art work is so unique and colorful! We do lots of other activities as well. I think one of my favorites is when we make caterpillars and butterflies. We use black construction paper and brightly colored tissue paper. The kids tear the paper into strips and pieces and glue them on the black paper to make either a caterpillar or a butterfly. They really POP!

    Your caterpillar cake cracks me up! That is too cute!
