Eric CarleAn American Author
and Illustrator for Children
Eric Carle Mrs. Gruber’s kindergarten class at Our Lady of
Peace School in Columbus, Ohio has been studying a famous American children’s author.
His name is Eric Carle. We have so many books that he has illustrated in our classroom! Mr. Carle
writes and illustrates some books and some books he illustrates for other authors. Mr. Carle paints paper in beautiful colors. He then cuts the
paper into shapes and makes collage pictures. He is most famous for his book called The Very
Hungry Caterpillar!
A Caterpillar By Sam
The first book that we read was called
The Very Quiet Cricket. We can tell you what is
so very, extra special about that book!
The first book that Mr. Carle ever illustrated is called Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do
You See?.
Many of the students in our class made collages. First we painted paper and let if dry. Later we cut shapes
out of many pieces of the paper. Some of us used construction paper too. We got some of our ideas from illustrations by Mr. Carle!
