Judy Newman at Scholastic: The Very Creative Eric Carle
"Eric Carle seems to know many bugs who have very intense emotions—from a very busy spider and a very hungry caterpillar to a very quiet cricket and a very lonely firefly. But most of all, Eric knows what delights his millions of readers all over the globe!" Learn seven fun facts about Eric Carle including fact number six: even at age 91, Carle published at least one book a year. In 2020, he released two: "Baby Bear, Baby Bear, What Do You See?" and " Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?"

NPR: The Art of Eric Carle
This three minute video features Eric Carle narrating a slide show displaying scenes from his art studio and artwork from his books. "My books, I treat each page as a poster. Most of it is front or side view without perspective." In it he explains his attraction to color, and answers a common question from kids: What's your favorite color?

The Official Eric Carle Website
"Born in Syracuse, New York, in 1929, Eric Carle moved with his parents to Germany when he was six years old; he was educated there, and graduated from the prestigious art school, the Akademie der bildenden Künste, in Stuttgart." Visit his official website for a biography, a book list, games and coloring pages.

Scholastic: Eric Carle Author Study
This one-page author study from Scholastic starts with a video trailer for "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." Next up is a short biography, followed by cross-curriculum Learning Activities that connect art, science and math with Carle's work. "Eric Carle prepares his own colored tissue papers to use for his illustrations. He is able to produce different textures by using various brushes to splash, spatter and fingerpaint acrylic paints onto thin tissue papers."
