From my initial thoughts of illustrating children's books, before i initialized my idea on educational material my thought fell on 'the hungry caterpillar.' The shapes and creatures Carle creates are so interesting and beautiful to look at as an illustration on its own not just for a children's story book. The butterfly below hold so many different colours i almost looks as though it is glistening in the sun, it is far away form a real looking butterfly but i like this quality it adds to the hand crafted collaging he uses.
This book cover shows how his technique works across all animals shapes sizes and colour. This cover doesn't work as well some i have seen, because the quality is lost a little in the characters of he animals. A small second problem i have with it, is the type face the word flash card looks more hand written that the first two, perhaps if this had been consistent it would have worked much better.
