Wonder children’s Author

"Eric Carle is a wonderful author for children. A must have"

— Sandra (5/5)

Great book for wee ones!

"My favourite Eric Clarke book. Great for learning farm animals and the sounds they make. Repetitious pattern so children can memorize and read themselves. You can also see and feel how a spider web is made. Highly recommend."

— Lorrie C. (5/5)

A very busy arachnid

"A classic tale. Book is well made and will last for lots of bedtime stories"

— Kathy (5/5)

Fabulous Addition to Encourage Reading at a Young Age

"This book is classic Eric Carle. Our children loved The Very Busy Spider and this book is now a favourite of our grandchildren - often their first choice to read. The texture of the pictures and rhythm of the text is fabulous - very engaging for all."

— Barbara (5/5)

Board books are the way to go for toddlers and last longer as keepsakes.

"A great addition to the collection of the Very Hungry Caterpillar."

— Satisfied C. (5/5)

Praise for The Very Busy Spider:

* "A beautifully executed work for the very young that satisfies the needs of both visually handicapped and sighted children without losing its artistic integrity."--The Horn Book, starred review

* "Both sighted and blind children will follow the action with ease . . . Visually and verbally, this is a winner."--Booklist, starred review
Born in the United States, Eric Carle was taken as a six-year-old child by his parents back to their native country, Germany. Later, he studied at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste (Academy of Applied Arts) in Stuttgart, and returned to New York in his early twenties as a graphic designer and artist. His many picture books are now known and loved by children around the world.
 
In 2002, Eric and his late wife, Barbara, opened The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, in Amherst, Massachusetts, where the works of distinguished picture book artists, nationally and internationally acclaimed, are exhibited in three spacious galleries.

Eric Carle passed away in 2021, at the age of 91.
