RIP Eric Carle

The Very Hungry Caterpillar must be feeling a pain in its tummy for a very different reason today.

His illustrations were bright and interesting, and his stories perfect for toddlers.

I have never read this often mentioned book. This is surprising - my parents read a lot to us as kids and we went to the local library every week.

My favorite book of his was The Very Clumsy Click Beetle.

“Quick! Click and flip!”

I’m an English teacher at a kindergarten in South Korea. He is very well represented in our library. I just became a fan of his this past year. Sad news indeed.
