"The World of Eric Carle" (1993)

These are 5 children's stories, all by Eric Carle.  Or at least I assume they're all children's stories.  I did recognize the first one (the story highlighted in some of the video titles [see below]).  I'm just assuming the rest come from the same origins.  The artwork is in the same style for all 5 stories.  The common theme for all 5 is that the world (especially nature) is beautiful and should be wondered at.  The 5th selection focused on music ("I See a Song") and art together.  None of these stories are "get in a hurry" stories.  They're stories meant to linger over and enjoy, much like being read to at bedtime where you just want the book/story to last as long as possible.  Yes, indeed, this video is like a visual bedtime story--and just as delightful.

The 5 stories:  "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," "Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me," "The Very Quiet Cricket," "The Mixed Up Chameleon," and "I See a Song"

Side note:
Netflix title:  "The Very Hungry Caterpillar".
The video's beginning credits title and the title listed on the visual cover: "The Very Hungry Caterpillar and other Stories".
The video's ending credits title and IMDB's title: "The World of Eric Carle".
