Creative and clever
McDonnell plays with the meaning of words and images to tell the simple story of a little boy who loves to paint, and his other who loves her son's creations. Minimal, simple text and sprawling illustrations will capture the interest of even very young children, and early elementary students will still appreciate the clever wordplay.

Finally found it after years of searching!
I love this book. I ran across this book in high school (?) possibly junior high, and have been trying to track it down since. (I wasn't sure what it was called, only vague memories of what the pages looked like...) When I found it, I bought it and it is as good as I remembered it being. I have added it to my growing collection of children's books for my future children.

Can help kids think creatively
Super simple story that evokes a little outside-the-box thinking.

Enhances creativity
Teaching preservice teachers, I always look for books that complement my philosophy of introducing arts and creativity into the curriculum. Children and adults are hungry for creative outlooks in this time of standards. After reading the book to the class, we continue our discussion about how education can enhance or be a creativity blocker. Then of course, we must try painting ourselves to remember what it was like....

Such a well done picture book
I've been a huge fan of Mutts for some time, so when I saw this book by Patrick McDonnell, I felt like I needed to check it out. It's absolutely adorable and makes this little guy named Art, who is quite "Art-tistic" come alive in this fun take on being a little artist.

I love this book!
This is a wonderful book about the process of - and love of - art. The colors are gorgeous, and the drawings are precious. This is a great book for reading aloud to a child and will provide inspiration for creativity. I am going to buy one for all the children in my life.
