在生活中认识事物,在游戏中学习语言，让爱充盈着每一个幼小的心灵,让美追逐着生命的每一个脚步；当孩子们张开稚嫩的小嘴,咿呀学语,当他们迈开摇晃的双脚,哒哒走步,他们的生命便满载着生趣和希望,那不仅是渴望学会一种语言的表达,更是认识人生和自我,培育爱心和情操的起步。

作者简介

艾瑞·卡尔

1929年6月25日出生于美国纽约州的锡拉丘兹。他的父母都是德国人，6岁时，随父母一起搬回到了德国。艾瑞克·卡尔讨厌德国式的教育，16岁那年从高中退学，在老师的劝说之下，在斯图加特一所有声望的美术学校学习了四年的视觉艺术。还是在学期间，就为美国情报中心绘制了一系列的海报。毕业后，他曾在一家时尚杂志担任艺术指导，但他太怀念儿时美国那间洒满了阳光、可以自由画画的教室了，太想回美国了，终于在1952年23岁那年，兜里揣着四十美元，又一个人回到了阔别了十七年的纽约。他给当时担任《财富》杂志艺术总监、后来以《小蓝和小黄》《小黑鱼》等作品闻名于世的李欧·李奥尼打了一个电话，李欧·李奥尼不但请他吃了一顿午饭，还给他介绍了一份工作。

他年近四十才开始创作图画书，迄今为止，已经创作了《棕色的熊，棕色的熊，你在看什么？》（Brown Bear, Brwon Bear, What Do You See?，1967）、《1，2，3，去动物园》（1,2,3 To The Zoo，1968）、《好饿的毛毛虫》、《好忙的蜘蛛》（The Very Busy Spider，1985）、《爸爸，请为我摘月亮》（Papa, Please Get The Moon For Me，1986）等七十多本色彩缤纷的拼贴画风格的图画书，被翻译成了三十多种语言，小读者遍布世界各地。2002年12月，他的个人美术馆——艾瑞克· 卡尔图画书美术馆在马萨诸塞州开馆，这也是美国的第一个图画书美术馆。

不过，在很长的一段时间里，他的图画书并没有得到应有的评价，他甚至没有得到过凯迪克奖，这是因为批评家们不喜欢把书降低到像玩具一样的位置。2003年，为了弥补这一缺憾，美国图书馆协会授予他劳拉·英格尔·槐尔特奖，这也可以算是对他作品的艺术性表示的一种迟到的承认吧。

现在，他和妻子芭芭拉住在马萨诸塞州的北安普敦市。

Name: Eric Carle

Biography: Ever since he began innovating the look and function of children's stories in the late 1960s, Eric Carle has remained an author whose stories reliably hit the bestseller lists and remain on kids' bookshelves through generations. He began as a designer of promotions and ads, and one illustration of a red lobster helped jump-start his career. The lobster caught the eye of author Bill Martin, Jr.; Martin asked Carle to illustrate the now-classic 1967 title Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and a career was born. Born in Syracuse, New York but brought by his immigrant parents back to Germany when he was six, Carle was educated in Stuttgart and designed posters for the United States Information Center there after graduating from art school. He finally returned to the country he missed so much as a child in 1952. He eventually began procuring work on children's titles, and found himself becoming increasingly involved in them.
