I’ve got another lovely giveaway today as part of Picture Book Month. Today’s topic is Bears and up for grabs are two sets of Eric Carle postcards featuring images from his marvellous book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See?, and the other books in the same series:

Each set contains 35 cards, with at least 5 of each design.

  • This giveaway is open worldwide.
  • To enter, simply leave a comment on this blog post.
  • For extra entries you can:
      (1) Tweet about this giveaway, perhaps using this text:

      (2) Share this giveaway on your Facebook page or blog

    You must leave a separate comment for each entry for them to count.

  • The winner will be chosen at random using random.org.
  • The giveaway is open for one week, and closes on 14th November 6am UK time. As I am doing lots of giveaways this month, I will not post the winner on the blog, but will contact the winner via email. If I do not hear back from the winner within one week of emailing them, I will re-draw a winner.



    • Good luck! (and if you haven’t entered my rabbit book giveaway, or my giveaway for a bundle of books from around the world, there’s still time to do so!)

    My thanks go to the the Eric Carle Museum Shop for donating the postcard sets (not available anywhere else, other than the museum shop). I wish I could do all my birthday and Christmas shopping there…

      Eric Carle is my very favourite illustrator. I would love to visit the Eric Carle Museum in the US. A long way from Australia though.

      I just bought his Blue Horse book. Although to be an honest, I bought it more for my wife than my daughter. Wife is a big fan.

      We love The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Very Busy Spider and The Bad-tempered Ladybird. Eric Carle’s artwork is amazing. A couple of years ago I made my daughter a very hungry caterpillar quilt for her bed.

      We enjoy Eric Carle – E (2.5) for some reason has retired the v hungry caterpillar as “the boom boom book” and every time she recites it she says “boom boom” instead of caterpillar!

      Hi,

      All our children and both my wife and I love all the Eric Carle books. He’s a genius. Truly original art. My only complaint has been I don’t think he’s the best writer ever – 10 rubber ducks was a great book about a true story but didn’t scan well for me. But what do I know? ;) He’s still a genius for creating The Very Hungry Caterpillar! Read it thousands of times to my two.

      Philip
