I’m so excited to have THREE Van Gogh picture books to give away to THREE winners! Keep reading to the bottom of this post to find out how to enter!
Vincent, Theo and the Fox by Ted Macaluso is such a unique book for children! I love it! Your children will go on a fast-paced adventure all over inspired by Van Gogh’s paintings! As young boys, Vincent and his brother Theo spy a mischievous fox sneaking into a farmer’s cart. Wanting to catch the furry creature, 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, the boys – and the fox – learn about failure, success, and discovering how to be the best you can be when you grow up. It is also a sweet story about brotherhood. An epilogue gives a brief, factual biography of Vincent van Gogh.
Best Van Gogh Picture Books

I am musical and creative, but I’m not an artist. However, I taught art at our homeschool co-op and LOVED it.
