For more than half a century, Carle delighted children and adults!
with his vivid illustrations and sweet stories.
and “Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?”

Eric Carle was one of the exceptions.
That year, he sold the rights to his franchise to Random House for a tidy profit.
Carle didn’t just sock the money away in the bank, however.
