Kid's Book Review: Ish
Kid's Book Review: Ish
This is a great book for kids who might be hard on themselves when learning to make art or draw. It shows siblings Leon, Ramon and Marisol and how they can be supportive of each other while learning to make art. It's a good book for kids who need a little more confidence and a little less criticism of their efforts.
Kid's Book Review: Why Is Art Full of Naked People?
This is a great book for kids that addresses an embarrassing problem in fine art- Why is art full of so many naked people? The book by Susie Hodge is a fun book that guides you through modern and classical art questions anyone (even adults) may have as they move through an art museum. It invites readers to flip between pages in a non-linear order so it is fun for younger kids. Loads of pictures of artwork make it fun for the whole family.
