The Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse

In this book a child paints a blue horse. Then, with growing confidence, the young artist joyfully paints a series of other animals in bold, unrealistic colors and forms. Young readers will readily empathize with the happiness the young artist expresses when the paintings are finished. Through his eloquent pictures and an almost wordless text, Eric Carle will inspire young artists everywhere to use their imaginations. They don't have to "stay within the lines." And there certainly are no "wrong" colors. Here is a book to give all children confidence in their own creativity! - Jacket flap.
