Very far from the conventional art history book, the verisimilitude of the portraits and the text about the image, which the Croatian illustrator presents in this book, play on the historic base, respected up to the minimum detail, but in which the animals are converted into the authentic protagonists. Sharing the taste for painting with young children opens windows on art and takes away the barriers... these are some of the aims of this book.
