Eric Carle

I am currently writing a essay on Eric Carle and his work for The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and have recently bought The Art of Eric Carle which is a beautiful book... (buy the book here)

In this book it shows a step by step guide of how Eric Carle works and creates his bright, fun images...

I have come across Catherine Rayner's work a couple of times now... but found this book in the library today and had to share, such beautiful work! (sorry about poor quality scanning, her website is linked here)
