RIP Eric Carle

[viques]

Eric and Maurice(Sendak) were the authors that I read most to my daughter. I also read them to countless children , but never tired of them which in my work weary parental eyes was the hallmark of success.

Spread your gorgeous butterfly wings and fly Eric. I will have a slice of chocolate cake , and maybe a pickle, later in your memory.

Aww RIP, both my dcs loved the story and it’s one thing enjoyed reading too.

Such an iconic author and illustrator.

Ah, that's a shame. I loved The Bad Tempered Ladybird.

My daughters current favourite book is the lonely firefly.

We had a day of self isolation a few weeks ago which I thought was going to run into two and needed school work for both a pre-schooler and reception child, I printed loads of Hungry Caterpillar stuff off and didn’t need to use it.

So sad!

We loved the hungry caterpillar, of course, but dd also used to love Papa, please get the moon for me.

V special books!

I loved his books. The Very Hungry Caterpillar was truly iconic.
