Written and illustrated by Eric Carle
Although this book was first published in 1969, and has sold over 30 million copies around the world, it is timeless.
With its colorful pages, a short story with oodles of repetition, rhythmic language, and holes for your fingers, it appeals to small babies, and the small child inside us all. Within its cute simplicity is a great deal of learning.
