Arthur Geisert – författare

On today''s farm, B is for barn cat...E is for erosion...G is for grinding feed, and I is for...inoculate?  In 26 beautifully detailed spreads, acclaimed illustrator Arthur Geisert takes readers on a literal journey following a real road in Iowa (County Road Y31) through the ins and outs of America''s farmland.  This isn''t your grandfather''s farm book. It still features pigs, hay, and other familiar farm residents, but you''ll see a very different kind of quicksand and traffic jam here...Along the bottom of each page is a continuous panorama that totals nearly forty feet of art. Country Road ABC is a unique and funny look at America''s present-day farmland.

Drawn from life, Arthur Geisert’s Pumpkin Island is the fantastical story of a real life town brought to a halt by a profusion of pumpkins.Elkader, Iowa, is the perfect picture of small town life—that is, until the pumpkins arrive. One pumpkin? Fine. Two pumpkins? Okay. But with pumpkins growing around every street corner, and over every building, what’s a town to do? In these pages, Geisert imagines the town of Elkader overrun by the pumpkins that grow on Pumpkin Island, which sits in the Turkey River, right outside his kitchen window.

Legendary illustrator Arthur Geisert returns with the final installment in his Clayton County trilogy—this time imagining how the Turkey River trolls and townspeople must come together to save their shared home from flooding.The trolls of the Turkey River live underground in hollows they call homes. They are fun loving and communal, but also mischief-makers who sometimes go too far! From sowing corn that sprouts up through the cracks in the pavement to making Main Street as slippery as an ice-skating rink, there’s nothing more fun for a troll than pranking the townspeople. But when the waters of the Turkey River start to rise and threaten to flood, the trolls rush to warn the townspeople. If there’s any hope of averting disaster and saving the place they both call home, the trolls and townspeople must put aside their differences and work together!
