Great idea contained in this book. Having a student present the book as her report. I used this to have my students pick artists to write a report about. Read the book to my older students. 4-7th grade. A little lengthy for the little ones.

I am a middle school art teacher and this book fits right in with my artist report unit. Using a graphic organizer, my students explored the world of famous artists. This book is great for kids because it breaks things down into simpler terms than academic or more adult works. Colorful, sweet and to the point.

Frida Kahlo is a very wonderful artist. Her pictures are Beautiful. She paints things really good and I think I cant even paint that good! This book tells you how good Frida Kahlo was at art. She paints herself she paints animals she paints things that blow off your head, her paintings are so good! Well, read this book to find out how frida saved her life by doing art. Reccomended for people who may want to be better at art.

This is a beautifully illustrated and engaging book. We enjoyed it thouroughly. The questions are good and give it a little more depth. I appreciated the recap of Frida Kahlo's life that was age appropriate. I would have preferred they left out the photo of her smoking (in bed) and to top it off, commented on it. I have a 6 year old and she enjoyed the book.

This series of books are quite detailed and very nice for kids. My 6 year old daughter like these as bed time reading. Excellent.
