About This Item
New York: Clarion Books, 2010. First edition. Fine in very near fine dust jacket.. Signed first printing of this charmingly chaotic story of an ambitious lizard artist who takes his creativity a little too far. David Wiesner's knack for scale and perspective - from illustrating tiny fish at play or the imposing hulk of an enormous felled tree to entirely wordless stories - have earned him three Caldecott Medals, only the second artist to do so. 9'' x 11''. Original color pictorial boards. Original unclipped ($17.99) color pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated in color. Unpaginated. Signed by Wiesner to half title page. Trace rubbing to jacket. Colors vibrant.
Synopsis
Max and Arthur are friends who share an interest in painting. Arthur is an accomplished painter; Max is a beginner. Max’s first attempt at using a paintbrush sends the two friends on a whirlwind trip through various artistic media, which turn out to have unexpected pitfalls. Although Max is inexperienced, he’s courageous—and a quick learner. His energy and enthusiasm bring the adventure to its triumphant conclusion. Beginners everywhere will take heart.
