A Weekend With Renoir

by Rosabianca Skira-Venturi

I have put on my little round hat (which I wear often, in fact), combed my white beard and put on my best navy-blue suit. I am wearing my favorite necktie, too. Surely, you can see at once that I am a painter. I am so pleased that you have come to spend the weekend with me, to hear me talk about myself and my friends-- they are painters also. What I am about to tell you is my own true story-- the story of my life and my work. You will have to step back with me into the past-- before you were born, yes, but not so very long ago.Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

Excellent. Kids enjoyed it. There are a couple nude scenes and I skipped those pages. When we weren't reading the book I kept the book in a secure spot so they didn't view it unless I was with them.

Loved it. Simple to read but fun and educational. Very engaging
