One father spent half his life in the Army. Another loved marathons, and another loved fishing and hunting.

An Andover school has celebrated the work of a world-famous author in the week that he sadly passed away. Children in Icknield School’s Drum Class took part in lessons about The Very Hungry Caterpillar this half term as their sensory story, where the different objects in the book were accompanied by different tastes, touch sensations and images. Their exploration preceded the passing of Eric Carle, the author of the book, who died on May 23 at the age of 91. Eric Carle was born in 1929 in New York, and moved to Germany when he was six years old. After graduating from the Akademie der bildenden Künste (State Academy of Fine Arts), in Stuttgart, he returned to New York and began working as a graphic designer for The New York Times.
