My Day with Gymboree and Eric Carle

Brown Bear, Brown Bear what do you see?

Two years ago, that little question meant nothing to me. (That rhymes, huh?). After having my son Brooks, I quickly fell in love with the world of Eric Carle. From The Very Hungry Caterpillar to The Very Grouchy Ladybug to The Very Lonely Firefly (our new nighttime fave), Carle’s colorful illustrations and engaging words have made his books a staple on bookshelves around the world for over forty years.

Recently, I had the opportunity to take part in the launch event celebrating the debut of Gymboree’s new sleepwear and playwear collection featuring The World of Eric Carle. From caterpillar pants to polar bear and flamingo tops, Gymboree extends their rich heritage in colorful, quality sleepwear that parents will love and children won’t want to change out of.  The collection can be purchased in stores or online. Whether you are buying a gift or receiving a gift, Eric Carle’s books won’t disappoint. I can’t get enough of them. Even after reading them for (literally) the millionth time.

Below are a few images from the event … And tell me, what’s your favorite Eric Carle book?
