Rembrandt and the Boy Who Drew Dogs: A Story About Rembrandt van Rijn

32 pp. | Barron's | May, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7641-6097-4 $14.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Nancy Lane. Titus, Rembrandt's only son (and the subject of a famous painting), wanted to draw like his father. After a few false starts in the studio (due to his feisty pet monkey and dogs), Titus eventually became an apprentice, though never a serious artist. Historical information is included, sometimes awkwardly, in this tale depicting a warm father-son relationship. Stiff paintings illustrate the story.
