Escape to Play - Hardcover

by Becky Gehrisch (Author), Becky Gehrisch (Illustrator), Emily Andrukaitis (Editor)

Three mischievous dogs sneak out before dawn to explore the farm, and chaos follows close behind. Follow the pups as they make quite a mess in every new place they go.

Written in playful poetry, Escape to Play features highly detailed, whimsical illustrations that create an upbeat feeling as you move from page to page. Keep an eye out for a little mouse named Norman, who hides on every page, and for famous paintings sprinkled throughout the farm scenes.

Escape to Play is a reminder to have fun with discovery. Art lovers and future art lovers will enjoy the backmatter section full of questions and tidbits about the styles behind each painting, with playful prompts that tie each artwork back to the story, like spotting a hidden dog in a pointillist scene or imagining how the farmer might react to all the mess.

"A humorous and entertaining canine tale." -- Kirkus Reviews
