(2) K-3 Smart about Art series. Illustrated by Tomie dePaola. As in the previous biographies in this series, the text is presented as a school report, which includes a concession that Kahlo's work (reproduced throughout) may be beyond a child's powers of interpretation. Frith has wisely emphasized aspects of Kahlo's life that will resonate with the book's intended audience. DePaola supplies additional illustrations of Kahlo, complemented with festive, Mexican-flavored borders and motifs.
