Cooking with Eric Carle

Eric Carle’s career in book publishing began with commissions for *Red Flannel Hash and Shoo-Fly Pie* (published in 1965), a compilation of folk recipes from across the United States. When he switched over to his signature collage style, Carle continued to feature food in many of his books: *Today is Monday* concludes with a whole feast, and the board book *My Very First Book of Food* offers delightful small-scale snacks. From *The Very Hungry Caterpillar* to *Walter the Baker*, creatures and characters munch on all kinds of food in Eric Carle’s artwork.
