This really is a great overview of the different styles of art. It’s only a page or page spread for each. Even if your child isn’t particularly interested in horses, it’s still a great introduction. We start to see horses the way the artists saw them, which is neat.
The back includes more details on each included piece of art as well as photos of Ted Geisel’s (aka Dr. Seuss’s) sketches and notes for this book idea. The almost-finished manuscript was found over twenty years past his death.
Overall, I recommend it!
