The Crocodile's True Colors

32 pp. | Watson-Guptill | September, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-8230-2435-0 $$14.95
(4) K-3 When some young African animals are asked by their teacher to paint crocodiles, each painting is rendered in the style of a different major artistic movement--expressionist, cubist, etc.--thereby exposing readers to different art theories and the value of having a unique perspective. Despite the clever premise, the text is plodding. Each stylized illustration features an interesting layout.
