Vincent, Theo and the Fox: A mischievous adventure through the paintings of Vincent van Gogh

eBook (Owls Cove Press Feb. 4, 2014) , 1.1 edition
Vincent, Theo and the Fox is an adventure story for children inspired by the paintings of Vincent van Gogh. As young boys, Vincent and his brother Theo van Gogh spy a mischievous fox sneaking into a farmer’s cart. The fox finds the farmer's lunch bag and starts to rip it open. "That fox should be careful - the farmer will shoot him," says Vincent. "Let's catch him," replies Theo, "and take him someplace safe." The brothers give chase through colorful fields, over land and sea, into the city and beyond – settings illustrated by over 30 full-color reproductions of van Gogh’s greatest works. On this imaginative journey Vincent and Theo – and the fox – learn about failure, success, and discovering how to be the best you can be when you grow up. Not just a sweet story about brotherhood, it's the perfect introduction to Vincent van Gogh for kids. A great way to open up the world of fine art to children, with an epilogue that gives a brief, factual biography of Vincent van Gogh.
