All the Mike Venezia books are abfab. I read them to all of my classes K-7. The cartoons are great. The story keeps everybody's attention. They are informative and give a clear picture of the artists. Would recomend all of them

This book -- along with every other one in the "Getting to Know the World's Famous Artists" series -- is a fantastic purchase all around. It puts a creative spin on the teaching of art to children and makes the artists' stories come to life in a "current" and cool way -- using graphics/cartoons, great photos of masterpieces and easy-to-understand language. My son is 8 years old and loves all of the books -- I think they are appropriate for a range of ages (4 or 5 yrs to 10 / 11 / 12 yrs.)

Absolutely wonderful presentation of an artist for kids ages 6-9. Short enough to keep a child' attention without boring him/her, fun illustrations, simple, but very informative presentation of the historical details at the child's level.
