(2) K-3 When young Jamie and his family visit his uncle Andy Warhol in New York City, they go to a child's paradise: a house so filled with junk that it's "just like a giant amusement park." James Warhola, Warhol's nephew, uses a conversational style and childlike precision to describe a visit in 1962. The watercolors are full of details and glimpses of art stacked against the walls. Andy remains enigmatic--but his influence on would-be artist Jamie is clear.
