Eric Carle, the beloved children’s author and illustrator whose classic “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” and other works gave millions of kids some of their earliest and most cherished literary memories, has died at age 91.
Carle's family says he died Sunday at his summer studio in Northampton, Massachusetts, with family members at his side. The family's announcement was issued by Penguin Young Readers.
“Heaven just got more colorful,” Peter H. Reynolds, author and illustrator of “The Dot,” wrote in tribute on Twitter. Carle, he said, “made his mark, splashing bravely and inspiring those around him to do the same.”

Now he’s going to meet the very hungry worms. (Sorry...Sorry...)
Wonder what that guys net worth was as a result of that book. It seems like he won the lottery with it as the vast majority of kids book only sell a few hundred or a few thousand copies.
RIP to a clever guy.
He died in Northampton MA, one of the most Lefty hubs in the country. In all likelihood, they’ll compost him or some other Greenie nonsense.

R.I.P. Eric Carle. Thanks for the joy and love of reading that you brought to generations of children.
The only name of a book I can remember buying for my little nephew(s) years ago.

RIP.
My kid is too big to cuddle now. What I wouldn’t give to have him sit on my lap while I read it to him one more time.
I know a pre-k teacher who uses his books as much as she can. The kids love them.
Updated version: “The Very Hungry Caterpiller Has Two Mommies”
My little guy wants that book every night. I have the book memorized now.
Sold 40 million copies.
