Eric Carle is an author I really enjoy. He writes with children in mind. He states, "with many of my books I attempt to bridge the gap between home and school for children. Because school is a new and different place with strange people." His books have humor, educational and moral values, they are colorful, and timeless. Some of his most famous books are The Very Hungry Catapillar, Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?, 123 Zoo, and The Mixed Up Chameleon. This chameleon goes to the zoo and trys to become someone he is not. Even when he has the opportunity to be someone else this chameleon is not satisfied. The Mixed Up Chameleon is just one book that really gives opportunity for discussion time reagarding how a child sees him or herself.
Eric Carle's main website features his blog & news, games, newsletter, a list of his books, resources and FAQ's. He also has an area where he takes you step-by-step on doing the art for this book. Check it out. This book is for K-Grade 3.
