Books with author Stewart Moskowitz

A young moose discovers that life is not easy when you are made of chocolate. This 30th anniversary edition of Too-Loose the Chocolate Moose tells the original story with many careful revisions of words and pictures by the original artist and author, Stewart Moskowitz. Each illustration is digitally re-rendered with attention to every detail, and all under the close supervision of the artist / author. The story is 27 pages.

This aquatic tale for children takes place in an usual aquarium full of duck fish, hippo fish, tiger fish, and one very large and hungry fish. The story was first published in 1982, and was the creation of artist and author Stewart Moskowitz, who is best known for his fanciful and lighthearted paintings of animals. The book was part of a four book series, each volume’s story being inspired by a Moskowitz painting on its cover. None of the four paintings had been intended to relate to a book, but when asked by Simon and Schuster to create stories, the artist wrote his first books. Patchwork Fish is arguably the most compelling of them. In this new edition, the rebuilding of every color and every detail was directed by the author, with the goal of creating an improved version of the original, but without major changes. The restored pictures are vibrant and crisp, with some occasional revisions of coloring, but in general very closely matched to the original. The text is almost unchanged, with just a few very slight alterations, mostly of punctuation. Like all Moskowitz stories, you can expect a happy ending. A 28-page story, published by Stewart Moskowitz Media.

Stewart Moskowitz, author of Too-Loose the Chocolate Moose, brings us another colorful biography that children and discerning art critics will cherish. Finally the real story of the famous yet mysterious painter that changed modern art with every stroke of his brush. Compelled to paint what he saw, Vincent van Goat captured his world on canvas with piercing honesty – a world of hungry, annoying goats and whatever was left uneaten by them. For the first time, we see how vitally important potatoes were to this lonesome maverick, and why he was so irritated with other goats. Art historian Stewart Moskowitz pulls tantalizing clues from each painting, and literally rewrites the entire biography of the enigmatic genius that painted what no other goat had ever dreamed of. A 33-page story.
