The Art of Eric Carle

The Art of Eric Carle by Carle, Eric. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780399240027.

Carle is one of the most beloved illustrators of childrens books. This retrospective is more than just an appreciation of his art, however. The book also contains an insightful autobiography illustrated with personal photographs, an anecdotal essay by his longtime editor, a photographic essay on how Carle creates his collages, and writings by Carle and his colleagues. Still, it is the artwork in the oversize volume that seizes the imagination. More than 60 of his full-color collage pictures are handsomely reproduced and serve as a statement of Carles impressive talent. - Booklist
