BILL MARTIN JR (1916–2004), an elementaryschool principal, teacher, writer, and poet, held a doctoral degree in early childhood education. His many books, among them the bestselling classics Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, are a testament to his ability to speak directly to children.
ERIC CARLE’s many innovative books have earned him a place in the canon of classic children’s literature. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? was the first book he illustrated; he then went on to write and illustrate many other well-known books for children, such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Mr. Carle works in a studio near his home in western Massachusetts.
