Eric Carle: Very Hungry Caterpillar author dies aged 91
The US author of the best-selling children’s classic passed away last Sunday, his family said. …
Born in upstate New York to German immigrant parents, Carle moved as a child with his family to Stuttgart in the mid-1930s because his mother was homesick, only for his father to end up drafted into the army during World War Two and get taken prisoner by the Soviets.
