The Incredible Painting of Felix Clousseau
by Jon Agee (Author) Jon Agee (Illustrator)
Art imitates life in this hilarious, absurdist picture book--one of Jon Agee's most beloved titles, now back in print.
Outrageous! the judges cried. Ridiculous! Who would dare enter a portrait of a duck in the Grand Contest of Art? But when Felix Clouseau's painting quacks, he is hailed as a genius. Suddenly everyone wants a Clousseau masterpiece, and the unknown painter becomes an overnight sensation. That's when the trouble begins.
