I wanted a little more from this but it certainly emphasized how much Picasso followed his own creative thought process.

A fun look at the early life of Pablo Picasso, for very young readers. The exuberant art matches the energetic Picasso as he paints his early art. But when he gets inspired to create the first Cubist paintings, the book's author imagines that the whole of Paris yells out against him for daring to paint something different and bold and not at all like his earlier well-received but more realistic work. I loved the "centerfold" vertical image of him standing proudly in defiance.

A great introduction to Picasso and the creative process for kids.

Why are children's books about artists, like this one, so darn art historical? They feel like suffering to read.

A solid biography for a younger audience, however the time line is unclear and some things are to magical to really make sense in the context.
