SuitabookThe Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse
Eric Carle, Manu López Gaseni
- Reading
- Let the pictures lead: pause on each animal, invite your child to describe what they see, and follow their ideas rather than correcting the colours or shapes.
- Themes
- Creative freedom: A child paints a blue horse and other animals in unexpected colours and forms, finding joy in completing the pictures. The book presents imaginative, non-realistic painting positively, as a joyful way for the child to make art.
- Worth knowing
- The animals are painted in bold, unrealistic colours and forms. If a child expects animal pictures to look realistic, the difference may be worth noticing together as part of the book’s imaginative approach.
