1.Harold and the Purple Crayon
from HarperCollins
Price: $11.55

Customer Review: Rating
There are some novels that you pick up and just can't put down. Harold and the Purple Crayon is a page turner in an adolescent way. It's just too much fun, and at 64 page count it's a novel for toddlers. There are elements of surprise, suspense, humor and adventure, you turn the page just to find... more info

2.The Art Lesson (Paperstar Book)
from Putnam Juvenile
Price: $5.99

Customer Review: Rating
Tommy in this book seems spoiled and not willing/able to make something out of what he is given. He seems like a brat that wants his way and that is it. All artists learn to draw by looking. While bucking conventions is a good lesson, doing it as a spoiled child that thinks they have all the answers... more info

3.Draw Me a Star
from Philomel
Price: $13.59

Customer Review: Rating
The paintings/illustrations in this book are classic Eric Carle and are actually on a bigger scale than many of his books. They are glorious and beatiful and in his completely unique style.

from Williamson Publishing Company
Price: $10.36

Customer Review: Rating
I have just entered the field of preschool and was disappointed in the books for activities until I found Carlson. Her book isn't full of kiddie graphics as if the kids were reading, her instructions are clear and careful. This book is fun because it gives so many ideas of using things around the... more info

5.The Art of Eric Carle
from Philomel
Price: $23.10

Customer Review: Rating
For those of you who love Eric Carle, his art and stories, this book is a must have. A "coffee table" book that allows you to enjoy and cherish the work of this very creative artist and author. Only thing better would be to have one of his original drawings! Reading Eric Carle with my sons when they... more info

6.Art Dog
from HarperCollins
Price: $11.55

Customer Review: Rating
I've read this to my six-year-old since he was a five-year-old - he doesn't get tired of it, and mercifully, neither do I. The idea of a hero who uses _painting_ instead of punches to win the day is so cool it makes me wish I'd written it.
Also, I take my son to the children's floor at Berkeley... more info

7.The Kids' Multicultural Art Book: Art & Craft Experiences from Around the World (Williamson Kids Can! Series)
from Williamson Publishing Company

Customer Review: Rating
This is another excellent art book in the "A Williamson Kids Can! Book" series. I have several in the series, all of which have provided me many ideas for my students' art projects. I have used this particular book least however, because the projects are more complicated than the other books, and... more info
