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. View titles by Eric Carle
“Calling [ERIC LOVES ANIMALS] a tribute might actually be selling it a little short. The most complete collection to date of animals Carle depicted throughout his career, it succeeds on its own, regardless of one’s knowledge of or past affection for his work . . . beautiful and engaging and fun.” —Jon Klassen, The New York Times Book Review
