Dr Seuss's Horse Museum
Based on an unrhymed manuscript and sketches discovered in 2013, this
book is like a visit to a museum—with a horse as your guide!
Explore how different artists have seen horses, and maybe even find a
new way of looking at them yourself. Discover full-color photographic
art reproductions of pieces by Picasso, George Stubbs, Rosa Bonheur,
Alexander Calder, Jacob Lawrence, Deborah Butterfield, Franz Marc,
Jackson Pollock, and many others—all of which feature a horse! Young
readers will find themselves delightfully transported by the engaging
equines as they learn about the creative process and how to see art in
new ways.
Taking inspiration from Dr. Seuss’s original
sketches, acclaimed illustrator Andrew Joyner has created a look that is
both subtly Seussian and wholly his own. His whimsical illustrations
are combined throughout with "real-life" art. Cameo appearances by
classic Dr. Seuss characters (among them the Cat in the Hat, the Grinch,
and Horton the Elephant) make Dr. Seuss’s Horse Museum a
playful picture book that is totally unique. Ideal for home or classroom
use, it encourages critical thinking and makes a great gift for Seuss
fans, artists, and horse lovers of all ages.
