By Eric Carle
For the kid who colors the sky green just because they feel like it, this book says that's exactly right. Bold, joyful, and wide open — bright collage colors on every page.

A proper young boy named Vasya Kandinsky hears colors sing and sees sounds dance when he opens his paint box — but will he dare to paint music instead of pretty houses and flowers?
A young painter defies a male-dominated art world by pouring paint straight onto canvas and pushing it with mops and squeegees, inventing a whole new way to make pictures.
An alphabet journey through iconic fine art, pairing each letter with a famous painting — spotting the earring in Vermeer's Girl with the Pearl Earring, counting fruit in Cezanne's still life, and more.
When a seagull drops a can of orange paint on Mr. Plumbean's house, he repaints it into a wild reflection of his dreams — and his tidy, identical street may never be the same.
An author-illustrator named Harris Burdick vanishes, leaving behind fourteen mysterious drawings with only a title and a single line of text each — and no story to explain them.

A poor boy who longs to paint is given a magic paintbrush that brings to life whatever he creates, until a greedy emperor sets out to capture him and claim its power for himself.
A Victorian artist named Waterhouse Hawkins sets out to show the world what dinosaurs looked like by building the first life-size dinosaur models, first in England, then in New York City.
