Eric Carle Inspired Seahorse
Eric Carle, is a well-known children's author and artist. For our "Under the Sea" crafting segment, we were very inspired by Eric Carle's fascinating book Mr. Seahorse. Not only where the illustration beautiful and fun to look at, but the amazingly true story as to how many male fish are the primary care giver stunned us as we read through this wonderful book!

We've been having so much fun visiting all of our Eric Carle books as a whole unit, usually i fit them into other units based on their theme, but its been a fun way for kids to learn about what it means to be an author/illustrator. I like your hermit crabs! (mr.seahorse is my personal favorite, along with the clumbsy click beetle)
ReplyDeleteWe need to check that book out- my son loves the caterpillar book!
