I had the wonderful opportunity to visit the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art that is located at 125 West Bay Road in Amherst, Massachusetts. It goes way beyond the beautiful work and 70 fabulous books of author Eric Carle, which are outstanding in and of themselves. The Museum shows other authors' books and art work. With the amazing staff; programs, work areas for children, auditorium, and book store are so well incorporated and presented.
You have to give yourself a couple of hours to fully enjoy all of the Museum's areas. Here is a link to the website that presents the Museum so well. For now, you can view this short video to capture much of what the Museum offers.
