Customer Reviews

A fantastic introduction of an artist's vision for children

Eye catching, interesting, imaginative, and inspiring. These are things that hold a young persons attention and give them the interest to pursue art. Colleen Carroll has collected a fine group of art pieces that does all of these, plus her writing of the art and the artists help young people see not only animals, but everything in a different way. She asks many questions to help a child think and imagine. I think this is a fantastic book that should be in every child's library,even if most of the artists in the book are dead..... oh...except for me! My painting is on page 32.
