I read this book in one sitting. I learned so much about these famous artists then I ever thought I would. What I enjoyed the most about this book is that while the stories were short they packed a bunch of information in each one but in an enjoyable way. Unlike some books where you are reading them and it is like reading a history book in school. The illustrations in this book were great too. Although, not really needed they did help bring the stories more to life. After reading this book I have more appreciation for these artists and their crafts. I will be sharing this book with my nephews to help grow and inspire their creativity more. ( )

This book is part of a series about famous people as kids and this work is the best one so far. There's not as many individuals in this book as there is in the others, but the bios go into much more detail here. The artists selected are from various backgrounds and a wide range of time periods. There's also a pretty good bibliography for more reading listed at the end. Adorable illustrations too! Best for middle grades.
