Nineteen small vignettes from Carle’s life occuring both in Germany and in the U.S. trace his early interest in bugs, animals, and his family, all of which have appeared as subjects in his many books for early elementary readers. The stories include accurate animal information which Carle reveals as his child-self listens to his father’s explanations while watching black ants enslave red, for instance, or an injured swift finally fly away.
My father loved animals, it is from him that I inherited that love for all kinds of creatures. My father liked to draw, it is from him that I inherited the joy of picture making. My father was a story teller, it is from him that I learned to tell a story. Eric Carle known for his outstanding picture books, among them The Very Hungry Caterpillar, has now turned his talent to writing these short stories. Flora and Tiger is an exuberant and touching collection of personal vignettes dedicated to his gentle father, from his earliest years in America, through his boyhood in the shadow of war in Germany, to the present as an adult living and working in the United States. Eric Carle writes of his Oma (German grandmother) and the hen who might have been a rooster, his cousin Fritz and the turtle who loved a cat, his friend Sol and his kidnapped black cat, and his Uncle Adam and his tamed ravens, and many others. “These stories have three things in common,” Eric Carle writes, “animals and insects, my family and friends. and me.” Writing with wit and charm, full of love for the people around him, in these stories, Eric Carle welcomes readers, young and old, into his world. Annotation The author recalls experiences from his childhood in Germany and his later life in the United States, all in some way connected with various animals.
