Description
A whimsical adventure story for children inspired by the paintings of Vincent van Gogh. As boys, Vincent and his brother Theo spy a mischievous fox sneaking into a farmer's cart. The fox finds the farmer's lunch bag and starts to rip it open. “That fox should be careful – the farmer will shoot him,” says Vincent. “Let's catch him,” replies Theo, “and take him someplace safe.” They boys give chase through over 30 of van Gogh's greatest works. On this imaginative journey, the boys – and the fox – learn about failure, success, and discovering how to be the best you can be when you grow up. A great way to open up the world of fine art to children."...It's not a long or hard book to read. But the colorful paintings jump off the pages and will give you a lot to think about....Macaluso includes information on each of the paintings in the book....[He] wants to share the beauty of the art world with all kids. And even if they don't admit it right away, it's cool. Very cool."— Marylou Tousignant, The Washington Post, KidsPost, May 28, 2014
