Description

My father loved animals, it’s from him that I inherited that love for a wide variety of creatures. My father liked to attract, it’s from him that I inherited the joy of picture making. My father was once a story teller, it’s from him that I learned to tell a story.

Eric Carle known for his outstanding picture books, among them The Very Hungry Caterpillar, has now turned his talent to writing these short stories. Flora and Tiger is an exuberant and touching selection of personal vignettes dedicated to his gentle father, from his earliest years in The usa, through his boyhood in the shadow of war in Germany, to the present as an adult living and working in america.

Eric Carle writes of his Oma (German grandmother) and the hen who might have been a rooster, his cousin Fritz and the turtle who loved a cat, his friend Sol and his kidnapped black cat, and his Uncle Adam and his tamed ravens, and lots of others.

“These stories have three things in common,” Eric Carle writes, “animals and insects, my friends and family. and me.” Writing with wit and charm, full of love for the people around him, in these stories, Eric Carle welcomes readers, old and young, into his world.
