If you remember the first time you saw the "Spirit of Detroit" as a child, or walked past "Two Bears" at Quarton School, this book is for you. It is full of wonderful, whimsical illustrations that look at great art from a child's innocent perspective.I believe the title "The Outdoor Museum : The Magic of Michigan's Marshall M. Fredericks" fits the book well, as it captures the magic of Marshall Fredericks's art, which is best appreciated out of doors, i.e. at Cross in the Woods in Indian River, MI, "Freedom of the Human Spirit" in Birmingham, MI, "Spirit of Detroit" downtown . . .

A BOOK ABOUT OUTDOOR MUSEUMS THAT I PLANNED TO SHARE WITH MY GRANDDAUGHTER AND MY 86 YEAR-OLD MOTHER.
BUT A BOOK THAT INSTEAD WAS FULL OF AMATEURISH DRAWINGS OF GREAT OUTDOOR WORKS OF ART...

This is a delightful tour of sculpture in Michigan, with a guide both knowledgeable and able to capture the imagination of the reader. I can't imagine a better way to introduce your children to the beauty and meaning of art. Warmly illustrated, wonderfully written, highly recommended.

This book was an EXCELLENT representation of Marshall Fredericks and his works. This book captivates his long and endearing career of creating masterpieces that many have come to love and cherish. This book tells an excellent story of a girl who discovers a secret treasure of Marshall Frederick's works and presents the sculpture making process in a wonderful easy to understand way. The illustrations in this book are SUBURB. A MUST BUY FOR ANYONE WHO KNOWS MARSHALL FEDERICKS WORKS such as the SPIRIT OF DETROIT!
