A review by alanaleigh
Art by Patrick McDonnell
This book asks at one point -- "Art and his art/ Can you tell them apart?" And when you're looking at the small boy, splattered in paint with his Pollock-esque work around him, you'll be more than amused at the comparison.
Art is about Art, a young boy with a passion for art. You'll find many comparisons to Harold and the Purple Crayon, but I think Art is wonderful all on its own. The concept of an imaginative child who loves to draw (and whose mother happily displays his work on the fridge) is common, but Patrick McDonnell creates a delightful visual and storyline.
