Everyone always assumes I love children. I do, but I don't want to be surrounded by them. I'm about average when it comes to children: I like some, and some I don't like.
-Eric Carle, New York Times, April 14, 1994
I make things which are half book, half toy, things a child can touch and feel as well as look at.
-Eric Carle
