小袋鼠有妈妈吗？有啊！就跟你我一样。那小狮子、小企鹅、小海豚呢？
这可能是每个小朋友曾经有过的疑问。翻开Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother, Too《袋鼠也有妈妈吗》，我们就会得到答案了。
书中的故事非常简单，一个没有出场的小孩一遍又一遍地问着同一个问题：“Does a kangaroo/lion/monkey/dolphin… have a mother, too?”而回答也是始终如一的：一个大大的、鲜艳的“Yes!”接着，作者还用具有安抚的语调告诉孩子：“Just like me and you.”（就像我有你也有）。
艾瑞·卡尔用他的图画，为小朋友介绍了十一种可爱动物的外型和迷人的神态，小读者不但从图画中得到视觉上的快乐，也从作者对母爱的一再重申之中，得到了亲情的抚慰。

“Does a lion/monkey/dolphin have a mother, too?” The response is always the same: a big colorful “YES!” with the soothing reassurance that, “like me and you,” everyone has a mother.
The playful question-and-answer text invites children and adults to read aloud together. Repetition of key phrases helps preschoolers take the first step toward reading readiness. And the gamelike format makes it easy and fun to discover more about the world of nature and to learn the common names of some familiar—and some not-so-familiar—animals.
Eric Carle is the creator of many beloved picture books for very small children. Here he offers a beautiful way for parents and children to share the knowledge that love crosses all boundaries and ties all creatures on this earth together.

艾瑞·卡尔（Eric Carle），1929年出生于纽约，1935年随父母返德国定居。他讨厌德国式教育下的学校生活及时代的战乱，让他的少年时光并不快乐。战后，从小就展露绘画天分且向往自由浪漫的艾瑞·卡尔，在中学绘画老师的推荐及母亲的鼓励下，进入斯图加特艺术学院学习了四年的商业设计，一毕业即在时尚杂志担任艺术总监。1952年，艾瑞·卡尔再次踏上他要实现梦想的土地——美国。因缘巧合，他得到李欧·李奥尼的赏识和推荐，顺利开始在《纽约时报》的工作，发挥美术兼广告设计的专长。1960年艾瑞·卡尔成立了个人工作室，辛勤工作之外，他更渴望蜕变、渴望创作！
1967年，艾瑞·卡尔首次有机会为孩子的书配上插画，这次充满乐趣、大胆发挥创意的过程，让他感觉畅快淋漓，也引领他日后走向为儿童创作图画书的道路。他年近40才开始创作图画书，迄今为止，已经创作了《棕色的熊、棕色的熊，你在看什么？》《好饿的毛毛虫》《海马先生》《爸爸，我要月亮》等70多本色彩缤纷、富含想象力的拼贴画风格的图画书，被翻译成了多种语言，小读者遍布世界各地，并荣获多项世界闻名儿童图画书奖，包括纽约时报年度zui佳童书，意大利波隆那书展设计大奖等70余次国际性大奖。他笔下那条有名的毛毛虫，已被翻译成近50种语言版本，销量突破3300万，风行世界40余年。
艾瑞·卡尔为孩子们创作的图画书，既绚烂，又设计新颖，也因此被人们所热爱。拼贴画（Collage）是他独一无二的创作方式，他亲自制作的色纸材料更是匠心独具，是别人模仿不来的。大笔自由挥洒，每张色纸不但缤纷亮丽，还带有率性的笔触和丰富厚实的肌理质感，没有一张是重复设计的！然后再将这些色纸裁剪出有主题的图案。硬边裁切的纸缘，与柔软生动的色彩，也形成了微妙的对比和趣味。
艾瑞·卡尔的作品中，多是以自然、动物为创作主轴。形形色色的动物，深受孩子们喜爱。艾瑞·卡尔不但赋予动物鲜活的艺术造型，还以孩子的观点来塑造动物的生命，反映出孩子成长过程中的单纯、稚情、愿望和欢乐。艾瑞·卡尔的文笔带有诗趣，故事简洁轻快，每本书还有多重的内涵：趣味、想象、色彩、幽默、悬疑、感性、知性……。他说，大人不能强迫孩子一定得学会什么，孩子是主动的看书者，孩子自己会取舍书所带给他的讯息。
毫无疑问，艾瑞·卡尔的创作寓教育于艺术，让孩子长出一双充满想象力的翅膀，更为孩子开启一扇美丽的世界之窗。
