A Big Box o’ Eric Carle

Is this the children’s book equivalent to getting your picture on a Wheaties Box?

I think it probably is. Doesn’t the Hungry Catepillar look cute on Cheerios yellow?
It seems as though Eric Carle has teamed up with Cheerios to donate 100,000 copies of The Tiny Seed to whichever state answers the most trivia questions correctly at FirstBook.org Gooooo, Rhode Island!

Well, RI may not have the best chance of getting the books when there are big old states like Texas and California out there, but that’s OK- it’s a cool idea. Check it out and vote!

We actually have Eric Carle tiles in our kitchen. Eric and I had NO tiles in our kitchen for about 5 years, because we hadn’t found anything commitment-worthy. Then one day while at the Eric Carle Museum with the kids, we found these. Perfecto!

    Thanks fer the kindly comment on my NY story…

    Hey, I really like looking at all the photos of the online people I know, which you have so cleverly put up on your ecclectic blog.

    The $64,000 question is whether you’ll ever get a photo of me…. I want to know the answer to that one.

    p.s. We don’t get Cheerios like that out here either!

    I’m guessing one of these days the lure of New York will pull you back- and I WILL in fact get a picture of you, too! I um, er…have never been the West Coast, I’m sorry to say. I surely will eventually, so we’ll see!
