Eric Carle's All Around Us

This vibrant board book uses Eric Carle's signature collage art to transform early learning into an interactive discovery experience. Young children explore fundamental concepts by lifting sturdy flaps to reveal colorful animals, everyday objects, and elements from the natural world. Each page turn builds simple vocabulary through engaging peek-a-boo moments that connect words with striking visual representations. The tactile exploration reinforces language acquisition in a way that feels more like play than a lesson.

Carle’s distinctive textural illustrations make familiar items—from a bright red apple to a crawling caterpillar—feel new and wondrous, capturing a toddler’s perspective perfectly. The book’s genius lies in how it marries sturdy, hands-on interaction with foundational cognitive development, making it ideal for little fingers and growing minds. Caregivers will appreciate how this durable volume encourages pointing, naming, and shared reading, creating a foundational literacy experience that children will want to revisit again and again.
