Si scopre in che modo diversi artisti hanno visto i cavalli attraverso le riproduzioni di opere d’arte fotografiche a colori di Picasso, George Stubbs, Rosa Bonheur, Alexander Calder, Jacob Lawrence, Deborah Butterfield, Franz Marc, Jackson Pollock e molti altri, tutti con un cavallo! I giovani lettori si troveranno deliziosamente trasportati in un lungo viaggio da simpatici equini mentre imparano il processo creativo e come vedere l’arte in modi nuovi.
Ispirato dagli schizzi originali del Dr. Seuss, il famoso illustratore Andrew Joyner ha creato illustrazioni stravaganti combinate con l’arte della “vita reale”. Le citazioni dei classici personaggi del Dr. Seuss (tra cui Cat in the Hat, Grinch e Horton the Elephant) rendono quest’opera un libro illustrato giocoso assolutamente unico. E’ ideale per letture a casa sia in classe, incoraggia il pensiero critico ed è un grande regalo ai fan di Seuss, agli artisti e agli amanti dei cavalli di ogni età.
Vengono anche descritti i fatti che hanno portato alla scoperta del manoscritto e degli schizzi, l’interesse del Dr. Seuss per la comprensione dell’arte moderna, il processo di creazione del libro e le informazioni su ciascuno degli artisti e delle riproduzioni d’arte contenute nell’opera.
