He is also the writer of the successful, "Brown, Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?;" "Do You Want To Be My Friend?;" and "From Head to Toe," Carle introduced universal themes in simple words and bright colors.
He wrote "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" in 1969 and it was immediately welcomed by parents and delighted children with the story of a hungry green and red caterpillar with a touch of blue transition into a beautiful butterfly.
