About the Author

Eric Carle (1929-2021) was one of America’s leading children’s book illustrators and authors. Author of more than seventy books, his picture book career started when Bill Martin Jr invited him to create the illustrations for Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? That book went on to sell millions of copies worldwide and Eric soon began writing and illustrating his own books, eventually creating the bestselling classic The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Born in the United States, Eric also spent many of his early years in Germany where he studied typography and graphic art at the Academy of Applied Art in Stuttgart.

Carle was the recipient of many honors including the American Library Association’s Children’s Literature Legacy Award and the Original Art Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society of Illustrators. In addition to writing and illustrating books of his own, he also collaborated on several others, including Bill Martin Jr's
Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?, Isaac Bashevis Singer’s Why Noah Chose the Dove, and the Eric Carle and Friends’ What’s Your Favorite picture book series. The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, which Carle and his wife Bobbie founded, opened in Amherst, Massachusetts in 2002.

This is an audiobook review.This is a children's book in the "What's Your Favorite ,,, ?" series. In this book, we learn the favorite bug for several people. I knew none of the people, although they are listed as children's book artists, and hadn't heard of some of the bugs. I did learn a couple of interesting things about some of the different bugs that were mentioned. Bugs can be pretty fascinating. Some of the individuals wrote a little poem about their favorite. Others gave some interesting facts about theirs. There didn't seem to be a particular format that they went by to describe the bug of choice.Since I listened to the book, I can't comment on any illustrations that the print copy may have. There is music playing in the background of the narration in the audiobook. It also has a female and a male narrator for the different genders of contributors.The print book is available now. I was given the opportunity to listen to an advanced copy of the audiobook by Macmillian Audio and Netgalley. I'm voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Such a sweet book to view and read with children!

1.0 out of 5 stars Makes no sense to a 2 and 4 year old.

M. · November 22, 2020

On every page a different person (author? relative? artist? entomologist?) tells what their favorite bug is and why. I have no idea who these people are. They are not celebrities or anyone I know of or can relate to. It is difficult to explain the relevance to my grandchildren.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely loved this book

O. · October 3, 2020

I need to own this book like yesterday. It was super cute and the drawings were as well. Loved that children made this book possible. Would love to do something like this with my students.

Fun book and informative
