Lump & Picasso / Pets and Their Famous Friends

by Ana Gallo / We all know Salvador Dalí. But do you also know his ocelot Babou? Dalí liked to take his little South American leopard everywhere, claiming it was a harmless painted cat. Andy Warhol's dachshund Archie, like the pop-up artist, loved to bathe in the spotlight of the cameras and the little chow-chow Jofi helped his master Sigmund Freud with his revolutionary theories. Each of these delightfully entertaining stories is artistically complemented by Katherine Quinn's captivating illustrations. Her highly detailed images are reminiscent of folk art, capturing the humor and poignancy of this fascinating animal-human relationship. Together, these stories and illustrations will leave a lasting impression on children and help them meet figures from the worlds of art, culture, literature and science. A unique picture book about well-known personalities and their animal companions for children aged 7 and over. / 48 pages
