Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

PreSchool-K-This simple, repetitive meditation on motherhood will engage small children's minds and stimulate their curiosity. It starts out by answering the title question in the affirmative, and then goes on to ask whether a lion, a giraffe, and other animals also have mothers. It concludes by saying that all of these mothers love their young ones just like human moms love their children. Carle's distinctive illustrations convey the creatures in creative and amusing ways. This lovely book also offers a fun way to promote the recognition of letters and words. A surefire hit for libraries and bookstores.Rebecca Thatcher, Akron, PA

More About the Author

Eric Carle is acclaimed and beloved as the creator of brilliantly illustrated and innovatively designed picture books for young children.


Eric was born in Syracuse, New York, in 1929, and moved with his parents to Germany when he was six years old. After graduating from art school, he returned to America, the land of his happiest childhood memories, and found work as a graphic designer.


After seeing an advertisement designed by Eric, respected educator and author, Bill Martin Jr, called to ask him to illustrate a story he had written. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, with its distinctive collage style, was the result of their collaboration. This favorite was the beginning of Eric Carle's true career. Soon Eric was writing his own stories, developing a close bond with Ann Beneduce, the founder of Philomel Books, who would be his editor for nearly 40 years. In 1969 they published the celebrated classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, which has eaten its way into the hearts of literally millions of children all over the world and has been translated into more than 30 languages. Since this beginning, Eric Carle has illustrated more than seventy books, many best sellers, most of which he also wrote.


The secret of Eric Carle's books' appeal lies in his intuitive understanding of and respect for children, who sense in him instinctively someone who shares their most cherished thoughts and emotions. He says "I believe the passage from home to school is the second biggest trauma of childhood; the first is, of course, being born.
Indeed, in both cases we leave a place of warmth and protection for one that is unknown. The unknown often brings fear with it. In my books I try to counteract this fear, to replace it with a positive message. I believe that children are naturally creative and eager to learn. I want to show them that learning is really both fascinating and fun."


Eric Carle has two grown-up children, a son and a daughter. He and his wife Barbara divide their time between Massachusetts and Florida.

This review is from: ¿El Canguro Tiene Mamá? (Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother Too?, Spanish Language Edition) (Hardcover)

Spanish is not my native language, (I think that the verb should be esta' not es, but I don't know how to make accented characters inside these forms.!) Anyway, ALL of Eric Carle's artwork is FANTASTIC, and in this case the text is also engaging. Used this successfully for our library storytime.
