(3) 4-6 First introduced to Penrose's unique childhood in The Boy Who Bit Picasso, readers now learn about his experiences with Spanish surrealist artist Joan Miró, a family friend. Varied type fonts and children's art inspired by Miró creatively emphasize the childlike exuberance of Miró's animal paintings. Guiding questions about his art ("Can you see any animal shapes in these sculptures?") and photographs of Miró are included.
