Eric Carle has always been my favorite children's author and illustrator. I love most of his books, especially his artwork that is usually a vibrant collage of color. If you are not familiar with his work you can check it out here.
As part of the Children's Theater Series, we went with Kellie and Dawson to see three Eric Carle favorites - the Very Hungry Caterpillar, Little Cloud, and The Mixed-Up Chameleon - on Saturday. 
Showing us her Very Hungry Caterpillar puppet
This show, performed by The Mermaid Theater Company of Nova Scotia, included colorful black-lit puppetry. The entire time you know that there have to be people up on the stage dressed in black moving the puppets and sets around, but it was done so well that instead I found myself saying, "How do they do that?"
Grace and Dawson seemed a little tired today, but they both enjoyed the show. Kellie and I were happy for the snuggle time we got when they chose to sit on our laps instead of in their seats. And once they got outside, they showed how much they love to run, play, and laugh together!
