K-3
Illustrated by
Greg Newbold.
In this second art-appreciation picture book, the artistic hamster from If Picasso Painted a Snowman explores how iconic (and, this time, culturally diverse) artists would render dinosaurs. Greg Newbold inserts dinos into (impressive) imitations of famous works of both well-known masters (Degas, Kahlo) and less-familiar artists such as Navajo painter Harrison Begay. Back matter includes brief bios and "Advice for Artists."

Illustrated by
Greg Newbold.
A cartoony artist hamster imagines what it would look like if famous artists painted a snowman in their signature styles. Greg Newbold then inserts snowmen into (impressive) imitations of famous works while spare, vocabulary-expanding text pops on white backgrounds; a final page encourages readers to create their own snowman pictures. Back matter includes short bios of the referenced artists and "advice for artists."
