( From the first gawky little eohippus of 50 million year...)
From the first gawky little eohippus of 50 million years ago to his thoroughbred descendants of today, here is a book about all kinds of horses—whether thundering into battle beneath an armor clad knight, prancing before carriages, plodding around cornfields pulling plows, or racing for kings, they spring to life on every page. This is also a picturesque and unique glimpse into history, for horses have been valued and used by men as far apart in space as the Samurai of Japan to the farmers of France, as distant in time as ancient Egyptian charioteers and American cowboys. In beautiful color illustrations and clear informative text, noted author-artist Dahlov Ipcar brings to life men and their horses through the ages—their customs and costumes, and the ways they have worked and fought and played.

Take a journey to the bottom of the sea with the gentle merman farmer who tends fanciful fields of sea cucumbers and sea beans with the help of his two seahorses. He must defend his cowfish and sea hens from fierce sea lions and tiger sharks, and free any sea creatures caught in traps or nets dropped from above.

A young tiger sets out to explore and hunt, determined to catch things with stripes. A young leopard sets out to explore and hunt, determined to catch things with spots. And when the two youngsters meet, their adventures more than double! In this delightful children's book, originally published in 1961, Dahlov Ipcar uses the playful cats to depict the exuberance and innocence of youth. And when danger looms, perhaps they are not as old or as brave as they think they are. Ipcar's incomparable signature artwork has never looked bolder or brighter.

(The day birds and the night birds are easy-to-spot specim...)
The day birds and the night birds are easy-to-spot specimens, but their songs are a medley of the trite and the ridiculous: ""Overhead when the sun was high a blue bird flew through a bluebell sky;"" ""Way up high on a shining star a starling sang to a soft guitar."" Illustrating the latter, a singing starling tucks a guitar under his wing while he perches on the tip of a five-pointed star. In the pictures, phosphorescent nature; in the text, counterfeit imagination.

When grandfather was a little boy, the world was full of horses: pulling fancy carriages, galloping in front of a stage coach and charging into battle. But to keep you from feeling sad because the world is no longer full of horses, Dahlov Ipcar also shows you where they are this minute—because people love them. They can be found in the West being ridden by cowboys, on racetracks being ridden by jockeys and even on merry-go-rounds being ridden by kids like you!

A young boy scatters golden kernels of corn to feed the birds of the barnyard, and watches in delight as the birds of the farm parade before him to get to their meal. From fat speckled hens, to drakes with black velvet heads, even his runaway white rabbits, they all join the feasting throng. The little calico cat watches the birds with hunger and fierce longing, but she knows the birds are off limits. The shifty brown rats she spies, however, are fair game!

Welcome to Brown Cow Farm, an old Maine farm where the animals seem to appear faster than they can be counted. In her inimitable style, Dahlov Ipcar has created this charming counting book. Entering the big brown barn on a snowy day, children and parents alike can count aloud the animals they find there, from a big shiny brown horse to nine brown hens with zigzag combs. When springtime comes, watch out; that's when all the baby animals are born and we discover one of the unique features of this book: Unlike most counting books, which end at ten or twenty, Brown Cow Farm allows readers to count all the way to one hundred.

(A mother gives her little boy a handmade quilt, but it's ...)
A mother gives her little boy a handmade quilt, but it's more than just a quilt. It's a whole world where fantastical animals run, hide, swim, and frolic in a calico jungle. The boy enters this wild landscape and travels through it. He spies calico birds pecking at fruits, sees calico elephants giving each other shower baths, discovers spotted horses, striped lions, and calico fish shining like jewels. As he nears the far side of the quilt, the animals he encounters are curled up asleep. The boy grows sleepy, too. His eyes close and he dreams that he is walking through the calico jungle, under the flowering trees, where all the strange and wonderful animals lived. This marvelous book by renowned artist and illustrator Dahlov Ipcar will spark every child's imagination, inspire them to question what is real, and invite them to explore a world full of color and possibility.
