Warhola, James

Andy Warhol's nephew writes and draws with humor about his eccentric uncle's accumulation of cats. The solution to Warhol's feline overpopulation begins with featuring the kitties in his artwork; the pieces' popularity then entices friends and neighbors to adopt the animals. Vivacious watercolor illustrations provide an amusing entry into the artist's home life, based on Warhola's childhood memories.

PS
As a girl and boy play on playground equipment shaped like jungle animals, the animals come alive and encourage the kids to "crawl around," "give a roar," and otherwise show their feelings if they're happy and they know it. Warhola's watercolors will carry across the story-hour room, but the characters' stiff postures belie the song's exhortations to get moving.

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.
