Google Logo Celebrates Very Hungry Caterpillar's 40th Anniversary
Google redesigned their logo as a tribute to the children's book The Very Hungry Caterpillar, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary today. In an interview, author Eric Carle says the reason he thinks the book became so popular is that it is a book of hope.
My guess is it's a book of hope. That you, an insignificant, ugly little caterpillar can grow up and eventually unfold your talent, and fly into the world. As a child, you can feel small and helpless and wonder if you'll ever grow up. So that might be part of its success. But those thoughts came afterwards, a kind of psychobabble in retrospect. I didn't start out and say: "I want to make a really meaningful book."
Author Eric Carle also thanked fans on his blog for all of the messages from readers from around the world.
