A never-before-published Dr. Seuss book about creating and looking at art!

Based on a manuscript and sketches discovered in 2013, this audiobook is like a visit to a museum—with a horse as your guide!

Explore how different artists—including Picasso, George Stubbs, Rosa Bonheur, Alexander Calder, Jacob Lawrence, Deborah Butterfield, Franz Marc, Jackson Pollock—have seen horses and maybe even find a new way of looking at them yourself. Young listeners will find themselves delightfully transported by the engaging equines as they learn about the creative process and how to see art in new ways.

Dr. Seuss's Horse Museum is 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 at the end discuss the discovery of the manuscript and sketches, Dr. Seuss's interest in understanding modern art, the process of creating the book, and more.

“Excellent for a first visit to an art museum and as jumping-off point for young artists seeking creative style.” —Booklist, Starred Review

“A galloping marvel—enlightening and entertaining.”—Kirkus Reviews

“[A] lively excursion into the world of art.”—Publishers Weekly
