This clever compilation of Eric Carle classics mirrors the beloved writer/illustrator’s whimsical storytelling and art. Mermaid’s large-scale puppets and original music “earn coos of delight from adults as well as kids” (Los Angeles Times). Illuminated with black-light technology, the brightly colored puppets move across the black background as if Carle’s color-saturated tissue-paper illustrations hopped from page to stage.
