Quotes from starred reviews of Leonardo's Horse

BCCB Bulletin: 

"This is an unusual and surprisingly  touching story of a cumulative collaboration... Talbott's mixed-media art takes advantage of the book's arched shape.... and adds beauty as well as information."


 

Kirkus:  

"Together, Fritz and Talbott have forged an extraordinary tribute to two dreamers 500 years apart."


 

Publishers Weekly:  

"Talbott's diverse multimedia artwork includes panoramas revealing the Renaissance in lavish detail and majestic renderings....An inventive introduction to the Renaissance and one of its masters."

Booklist:  

"Talbott makes good use of the irregularly shaped pages in his 
pleasing and occasionally dramatic illustrations. A memorable 
choice for reading aloud."
