K-3Smart about Art series.
Illustrated by
Jessie Hartland.
Beginning and ending with notes from a fictional teacher, this artist study is presented as a child's school report. Biographical information and descriptions of Matisse's favorite themes and many styles and media combine with well-chosen reproductions, cartoons, photos, and comments from the "student" researcher. The lively and informal tone will appeal to young readers.
