Description
As a child, Eric Carle became interested in insects, a curiosity sparked by his father, who took him on walks in the woods and fields, exploring the tiny creatures that lived there. In Eric?s own words, ?I remember the excitement of lifting stones or peeling back the bark of dead trees to discover the living things that crawled, crept, and scurried about there.? In Bees, Butterflies, and Other Bugs, The Museum celebrates the wings, stings, and crawling things that have appeared throughout Carle's career, ranging from allergy tab advertisements he created in the late 1960s to familiar picture book favorites including The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Grouchy Ladybug.
