fun book with nice illustrations. Great wordplay with Art the artist making art.

I picked this book up because one of the boys I babysit (aged 5) LOVES to draw and color, and I try very hard to encourage the boys in what they like to do. It gives a good range of examples on what line and shape mean in an art context, and then going into color matches and so on. The best part is that it never gets stuffy or pedantic. It remembers that it's a book for kids and presents the information in a fun, whimsical manner.

Art, a little boy, creates his art freely and with creative flare in Art. Art draws lines in the form of zigs and zags, scribbles that squiggle and dots in many colors and sizes. He plops splotches and blotches on the page, then with a flourish creates the curliest cue.
His inspiration is the paper and his mind and from there he doodles and creates his masterpieces. Exhausted he falls fast asleep and when he awakens, all those masterpieces have been carefully hung on the refrigerator by his mother.
Armchair Interviews says: Art is a delightful character that exudes personality and comes alive as he madly creates his art. Children will love the book Art.
