5.0 out of 5 stars "Teacher's Choice Award" Crystal Productions Catalog, November 30, 2008
This review is from: Paul Gauguin (Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists) (Paperback)
My sixth graders always enjoy reading about a new artist in this delightfully written and beautifully illustrated series. The cartoon style of writing, that is used on some pages, is another technique used to make the artist's biography interesting and funny to the students. All of this terrific information, beautiful pictues, and students that argue about who GETS to read the book FIRST, [...]

I have to wonder about the first reviewer who gave this book only 2 stars. Maybe s/he teaches concrete.

This review is from: Paul Gauguin (Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists) (Paperback)
These cartoon-like books that Venezia puts out are pretty lame. They include more art by him than the artist covered. They look like cartoons or comic books and read like one. They do hold some valuable information, but I prefer the series "What makes a . . .a . . .?" by Muhlberger.
