A review by hainyh
Frida Kahlo and Her Animalitos, Volume 1 by Monica Brown

4.0

I particularly like the idea of a book purely centred on well-known influential artist Frida Kahlo, and her beloved pets. It follows her rise from a creative youngster with a wonderful imagination to the influential artist that she became. The perspective of this book really suits young readers, as rather than focusing on her life story on the whole, the inclusion of her animals and how they fit into her life is perhaps more interesting to young ones. The illustrations are lovely, and very much in the style of Frida's work. The only downside is the text is in places difficult to read due to its placement on blocks of colour and small size.
