Great Book!

This is such a wonderfull little book! I highly reccomend it for your kids, and art class, or just yourself! :)

Excellent concept, well executed

An amusing introduction to the artist Matisse that I highly recommend. Written as though it's an 8-yr-old's school report, it is accessible and very informative. It includes reproductions of Matisse art and biographical information. Loved it. And it was useful as a teaching tool.
