Carle and his wife Barbara Who Is Eric CarleBiography Eric Carle was born on June 25th, 1929 in Syracuse, New York. At the age of six he and his family moved to Germany. He studied here and attended the prestigious art school The Academy of Visual Arts. He always dreamt of going back 'home', so in 1952 with $40 in his pocket he returned to New York. He soon found a job as a graphic designer for The New York Times. Bill Martin Jr. saw an advertisement that Carle did of a lobster and fell in love with his artwork. He contacted Eric Carle and asked him to illustrate his book. "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See?" Carle agreed. This is where he began to fall in love with writing children's books. He was inspired by the process and wrote "1, 2, 3, to the Zoo." This was soon followed by the classic, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." His love for nature and animals are easily found in his books. He has gone on to write or illustrate over 60 books. ................
