Firts approach to Degas

This is an extraordinary book for kids to start the investigestion of an artist life and work. It's simple and it brings the information in a very interesting stile. Kids will love it, specially girls.

Wonderful introduction to the world of art

As a teacher looking to add to her biography collection, this series is a dream come true. It's written in a style that is attractive and holds a child's attention. There is a mixture of real art pieces and drawings done by the book's illustrator. It's a painless way of learning new information. I highly recommend all books in this series for any 3-5 grade teacher.
