WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE ANIMAL? By Eric Carle and Friends
Publishers Weekly, January 9, 2014: Feature Article (READ IT HERE!)
“’ A picture book is really one idea in 32 pages,’ [Carle] said. ‘I think part of what appealed to me is the idea that one question would be enough to make a book. I also liked that each contributor would have their own interesting answer, and that the question would also be an invitation to the reader to engage in answering as well.’”
