Eric Carle es un autor e ilustrador de libros infantiles, nacido en Siracusa, Nueva York el 25 de junio de 1929 y criado en Alemania. Ha ilustrado más de setenta libros, y vendido 88 millones de copias. Es conocido sobre todo por La oruguita glotona, un volumen desplegable y taladrado que convierte el libro en juguete y da forma autónoma a la trama narrativa. Carle posee una técnica muy reconocible, que podría definirse como «collage impresionista», con las figuras casi siempre recortadas sobre fondo blanco. Appealing animals in bold colours are seen and named in a rhyming question-and-response text that delights as it invites young readers and listeners to participate actively.
