Eric Carle- Read the books, visit the site

I love Eric Carle! I love the great pictures and wonderful stories he creates. I have even decorated my children's room with insect pictures from his books. Today I found the Official Eric Carle Website.

Eric Carle books are great for reading to your preschooler. I used to recite Today is Monday for my son when he was an infant. The sing song pattern calmed him when he was screaming in the car. The Grouchy Ladybug and The Very Hungry Caterpillar are excellent for teaching time and veggies.

After you read some of the book, visit his site. There is even a virtual tour of the Eric Carle Museum for Picture Book Art. It is more of an adult site that a child's site, but it does give a lot of information about the author.

To see more books by Eric Carle, visit my preschool amazon store.
