Wonderful! File that one in the Treasured Parental Memories section.

We are fond of the Eric Carle books too. And if you promise not to tell anybody, I have to admit that I went through a period of watching the tape of "Papa, Please Get Me The Moon" with my girls and getting kind of misty-eyed about the whole Father-Daughter thing.

Impressive! It may be hard to keep up with him!

There are non-bug Carle books, really there are. There's one with a brown bear, one with a sloth, and "Polar Bearm What Do You Hear" has a bunch of different zoo animals. But they are all very simple, do all feature animals and they certainly feel repetitive before long.

Oh, I know, Nina. We own one about a chameleon and the brown bear and polar bear ones (though those are only illustrated by Eric Carle). We've even checked out some out about people.
