[Rebecca · Rating 5 out of 5]

In these series, I learned about all sorts of famous artists out of context. When I was a kid, my knowledge was patchy because I would read this whole book about Goya and then nothing about Picasso. What I did learn about Goya from this book was cool. I liked his paintings, especially the dark ones that creeped me out when I was a kid.

Is this a kid’s book? Yes. Does it give a quick and manageable overview of Goya’s works and life? Also yes.

Small cartoons add a cute, light touch to the text which presents interesting information about this famous Spanish artist.
