Eric Carle is acclaimed and beloved as the creator of brilliantly illustrated and innovatively designed picture books for very young children. His best-known work, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, has been translated into 70 languages and sold over 55 million copies. Carle illustrated more than seventy books, many best sellers, most of which he also wrote, and more than 170 million copies of his books have sold around the world. In 2003, Carle received the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award (now called the Children’s Literature Legacy Award) for lifetime achievement in children's literature. In 2002, Eric and his wife, Barbara, cofounded The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art (www.carlemuseum.org) in Amherst, Massachusetts, a 40,000-square-foot space dedicated to the celebration of picture books and picture book illustrations from around the world, underscoring the cultural, historical, and artistic significance of picture books and their art form. Eric Carle passed away in May 2021 at the age of 91. His work remains an important influence on artists and illustrators at work today. www.eric-carle.com
Toddler-PreS—The Very Hungry Caterpillar wants to know how a tadpole grows, and this perfect little board book sets about to explain it in typical Carle fashion: "The eggs are surrounded by a squishy gel. After about two weeks, the eggs are ready to hatch." The tadpoles, in glowing green translucent tissue paper, seem ready to squiggle off the page, but the text explains how they breathe and then how, two months later, back legs emerge. All of this is fairly exciting stuff, against the crisp white backgrounds that are a hallmark of the series. Front legs, check; lungs, check; tail falls off, frogs! VERDICT Most science board books overwhelm or understate. This one is just right.—Kimberly Olson Fakih
