Eric Carle and my Brother

This week I visited my brother before he moved to teach in Canada! He has lived in Massachusetts for many years and it was fun to see him before he moved to another country! While I was in Amherst, Massachusetts, I visited the Eric Carle Museum. Do you know who that is? He wrote/created the book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar and illustrated the book, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? among many others!

The museum showcased Eric Carle's art but also showcased artwork from famous author/illustrator Ezra Jack Keats. He wrote The Snowy Day.

Like any museum, you are not allowed to take pictures of the artwork in the galleries, so I took pictures of the museum. It was a fun place to visit!

The museum had an art studio for guests to make art like Eric Carle!

Leaving on a Jet Plane

St. Clair River and Lake Huron

This boat on the St. Clair River was called Tecumseh!

Thomas Edison Museum

 Edison didn't do well in school, but eventually went on to do great things because he kept trying!

 Edison liked to have fun and seemed to be mischievious.

Artifacts excavated from the Edison homestead.

Edison was a Newsbutcher, someone who sold the newspaper and food.

Edison didn't want to waste time on the train, so he did some experiments at the back of the train car!
