Customer Reviews

My kindergartner loves this book!

Venezia does a great job of making Hopper's biography interesting to kids, and his work accessible and exciting to them. Examples of his paintings are presented throughout the story, and readers learn what influenced the works at different periods of his life. The author's own cartoons, interpreting events in the story, are very funny. Both big and small kids love them. One of the very best children's books about art we have ever read. Venezia's entire series is wonderful.
