One of the reasons Carle's books are so lovely is that in his artwork and narratives, he seems to capture the world as children see it: Enchanted. This isn't to say magical, as in spells or potions or other things with their own logics and narratives, just: enchanted. — PolitiTweet.org

And the beauty of the pictures turns out to be important. The minimalism of the artwork is just a part of the narrative; you're getting as much information out of what you see as what you read: You're learning from looking at the world, just like kids do, before they can read. — PolitiTweet.org
