A colorful invitation to imagine

Eric Carle’s picture book turns familiar animals into unexpected works of art: a red crocodile, orange elephant, purple fox and polka-dotted donkey appear alongside the blue horse of the title. The sequence centers on an artist painting the world as he sees it, connecting imaginative color and playful departures from the ordinary with children’s own creative expression. This board book edition presents art as an open-ended way of looking at animals and the world around them.
