Remembering Eric Carle

Beloved children’s book creator Eric Carle passed away  earlier this month at the age of 92.  His best-known work, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, has eaten its way into the hearts of literally millions of children all over the world and has been translated into 66 languages and sold over 50 million copies. Since the Caterpillar was published in 1969, Carle illustrated more than seventy books, many best sellers, most of which he also wrote. More than 152 million copies of his books have sold around the world.

Alloway Library’s Curriculum Resource Centre has over 25 of his colourful books in its collection and are now on display on the main level of the library. Stop by to check a world of ladybugs, spiders, sloths, pancakes and more to share with the child within or nearby!
