Eric Carle is one of the most acclaimed illustrator of many children's books. His picture books have attracted millions of young readers worldwide. They are widely popular for the vibrant, bold illustrations sprawled over double-page spreads. Created using collage style painting, they are just simply brilliant and beautiful. He illustrated over 70 books, many of them were best sellers, including the 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' which sold over 29 millions of copies worldwide.
"Brown Bear, Brown Bear" was our very first Eric Carle book. My daughter was totally captivated by the brilliant artwork and found the repetitiveness very comforting. I got several others (like the polar bear, panda bear books) and even after a year, she still likes to look at them. She has several favorite animals like the macaroni penguin, blue horse, spider monkey and yellow duck. We always find ourselves coming back to Eric Carle books more often. They make a great read-aloud for the very young and every child should own at least a few of his books.
My Rating: 5/5
