Notă biografică
Born in Syracuse, New York, in 1929, Eric Carle moved to Germany in 1935 with his parents and was educated there. He studied graphic design at the Academie der bildenden Künste in Stuttgart. He returned to America in 1952 and worked as a graphic designer for The New York Times, and later as art director for an international advertising agency. His first two books, 1,2,3 to the Zoo and The Very Hungry Caterpillar, gained him immediate international recognition. The latter title, now considered a modern classic, has sold over twelve million copies worldwide and has been translated into more than twenty languages.He says that the inspiration for Walter the Baker came from two sources: an old story that was told to him by his grandmother, and his uncle Walter, who owned a bakery. "I remember visiting him when I was a young boy, in his bakery, with all the sweet smells described in this book."
Descriere
With a sprightly text and his most vibrantly colored collage illustrations to date, Carle tells the story of Walter, the best baker in the Duchy who, under creative pressure, invents the pretzel. Based on a German folktale passed down to Carle by his grandmother, this delightful story illustrates how necessity and accidents are the mother and father of invention. Full color.
