What’s Your Favorite Animal? (2014) launched this collaborative series, followed by What’s Your Favorite Color? (2017), What’s Your Favorite Bug? (2018), and What’s Your Favorite Food? (2019). In each book, Eric Carle posed a simple question to fellow children’s book illustrators and gave each artist a page to answer with a new illustration done in their own style.

The series works both as a picture book for young readers and as an informal survey of contemporary illustration. Each page looks different because each artist brought their own technique, from pen-and-ink to watercolor to digital art, making the books a kind of gallery between covers.
