This #1 New York Times bestseller is the perfect gift for the young artist in your life! A never-before-published Dr. Seuss non-fiction book about creating and looking at art!
 
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.
 
Publisher’s Notes discuss the discovery of the manuscript and sketches, Dr. Seuss’s interest in understanding modern art, the process of creating the book, and information about each of the artists and art reproductions in the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Learning Book +++
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2019

This book is definitely not the normal rhyming Dr. Seuss book but that some might expect. I think that is where some of the other reviewers were disappointed. It is, however, an excellent book for teaching children about art history. The illustrations are adorable and the book is well thought out. Dr. Seuss is no longer with us and I think people want this to be a book like Dr. Seuss would have written. I believe that, very smartly, the people putting it together did not try to be Dr. Seuss in that way. People would have complained had they not gotten the rhyming the way Dr. Seuss would have done it so best not to go there. The information is excellent and teaches children about how we all may see things (like horses) in different ways (throughout time and around the world). I like that it validates different styles of art and that not all art has to be realistic or photographic to be good art. Art styles are presented and illustrated with famous artworks and explained in a simple and wonderfully understandable way. I think it is an excellent book for children to learn about art and art styles. If you are just looking for a rhyming book, this is not it. If you want your children to learn as well as be entertained by a book, than this is a great book.

An excellent introduction to art for children. Read it many times before taking your child to a museum and see if she doesn't view the museum differently. I'm guessing it will make a big difference. The text about how the book came about is quirky & amusing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Art History made fun and comes alive through the pages for both young and old(er)
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2019
Verified Purchase
Well, to be honest, I got one for myself first and then got one for my 13-year-old grandson who exhibits art talent. Have to say, it was a hit. First, his dad said...' oh, a book like I used to get', then I explained to my grandson it was the latest book out and it will take him all through art history. He looked excitedly through it and gave it a little fist pound as if to say he couldn't wait to read through it, you know after he played a game on his other new toy. I would recommend this book for young and old(er). So glad it was published.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love this but not a typical Dr. Seuss book (no rhyming)
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2019
Verified Purchase
This book is beautifully illustrated and I loved the concept. I also love that they have publisher's notes that explain the history of the manuscript and even a comparison of one of the manuscript pages with the final page drawn by Andrew Joyner. The design includes reproductions of cave paintings and of famous works (Picasso, Cavallo, Raphael, Seurat, Manet, are just a few) and in the back are details on each one. It's a great book to give to kids as an introduction to art.

What keeps this from getting 5 stars is that it doesn't sound like Dr. Seuss. Without the publisher’s note, I would have thought this was another author. The writing is not his typical rhyme and there is a small portion that he didn't even write. He had a note that listed different types of moden art to write about. It was the editors who completed that text. (as explained in the publisher’s notes) Dr. Seuss’s poetic writing style brings back such fond memories of my childhood and of reading to my daughter when she was young. The rhyme made everything so much more fun and easier for kids to read. This doesn’t have the same welcoming style of his other works and I suspect that is why it stayed in a box for all those years.

Ante todo decir que este libro no es un cuento, una historia típica de Dr Seuss lleno de rimas, palabras inventadas y sus característicos personajes. El ilustrador Andrew Joyner ha hecho posible este libro basándose en manuscritos y bocetos que Dr Seuss guardaba sobre la idea de hacer este libro pero que nunca hizo. Por esto, el estilo y estética no tiene nada que ver con lo que estamos acostumbrados a ver en los libros de este autor.
Dicho esto, debo decir que a mí me ha encantado el libro. Me parece un buen resumen de la historia del arte dándole cohesión a través de la figura protagonista del caballo. Recorre desde la pintura en cuevas hasta el arte más moderno, pasando por el realismo, impresionismo, expresionismo, cubismo, entre otros. Por supuesto, también aparecen imágenes de caballos hechos por Dr Seuss.

Al final del libro aparecen las imágenes de todas las obras de arte con información sobre ellas y sus autores y al final del todo donde se encuentran esas obras en la actualidad. También se incluye una explicación sobre el manuscrito y su relación con el arte así como imágenes de sus bocetos originales.

No es un libro para la hora del cuento, es más bien un libro formativo/informativo para trabajar el arte con los niños. Un Must en mi opinión, antes de visitar un museo con niños o trabajar algún autor u obra de arte para darles una imagen global de lo que es el arte.

El formato tapa dura es de una gran calidad. Estoy muy satisfecha con la compra. Es una lástima que no esté disponible en español.
