Visit to the Eric Carle Museum!

I just returned from a trip to Amherst, MA, to visit the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art.  (http://www.picturebookart.org/) This is a great place to take kids - artwork on the walls, the books in a bin on the floor, very kid friendly.  They have a Tomie dePaola exhibit now through Nov. 1 to celebrate Tomie's 75th birthday.

I was thrilled to meet Tomie tonight!  He was a great speaker and made us laugh.  He is probably most famous for his Strega Nona stories.  I was happy to get my picture taken with him.   I can't wait to show it to my students and tell them all about him!
