[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 Review " A gorgeous and creative book. Author has chosen the van Gogh images well, and has done an excellent job of creating an engaging narrative weaving them all together very naturally and tied into the boys and the fox...I especially like the use of sound throughout, which is engaging for young readers. Dialog is right on par with young reader level, kept simple but advancing the plot nicely in a way that gets the young reader thinking...wonderful structure and progression." -- Judge, 24th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards " A charming, unique way to introduce youngsters to great art while providing an important message." -- Kirkus Reviews, July 29, 2016 " Van Gogh and a fox make art more fun...It's not a long or hard book to read.

"This is the first book I've read where the illustrations are storied instead of the story being illustrated. It's a fun twist! It's also one of the few stories where the illustrations are presented from a first-person perspective....It adds a depth of imagination that I'm not used to in picture books. I can't think of any other picture book doing this -- it's wonderful!" -- The Picture Book Review (thepicturebookreview.com/) About the Author Ted Macaluso loves storytelling.
