Carle illustrated more than seventy books, many best sellers, most of which he also wrote, and more than 170 million copies of his books have sold around the world. His best-known work, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, has been translated into 70 languages and sold over 55 million copies.
About the AuthorĮric Carle is acclaimed and beloved as the creator of brilliantly illustrated and innovatively designed picture books for very young children. See if you can saunter instead of sprint, and remember to appreciate the merits of a leisurely way of life. Set in the lush world of the tropical rainforest, this board book edition of Eric Carle's original picture book is an exquisite showcase of his colorful collage art with a meaningful message: Relax! Take a break and enjoy your world. Maybe the peaceful Sloth can teach us something…? This image is an alternative collage illustration that was not used in my book Slowly, Slowly, Slowly, said the Sloth.Slow down with the Sloth of Eric Carle's original story in this unabridged, sturdy board book, perfect for even the youngest readers! We eat fast food, rush to the next appointment, click away at our computers, fly and drive in all directions.
We are constantly bombarded by all kinds of messages about scandals, wars and what soap to buy. Our lives have become increasingly frenetic. I became fascinated by this strange creature that sleeps up to 20 out of 24 hours this boring animal who eats 10% of what animals of equal size and weight consume this expressionless critter who lives by itself and rarely makes a noise seemed the perfect antidote to the hectic situation I found myself in. That was when the gentle and slow moving Sloth came to my mind. My life had become so busy with meetings and appointments. Around the time the building of The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art was coming to completion, nearly a decade ago, I was feeling overwhelmed, and so I locked myself in my studio and hung out the DO NOT DISTURB sign.
