When I picked this up I thought it was going to be too dry and wordy for my kids. But I was very pleasantly surprised. It's written at a great pace and level of detail, even for preschoolers.

I love all of Venezia's Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists books! This particular one was especially engaging and my young art history students loved it.

A good introduction to the work of artist Mary Cassattas well as to the genre of biography. I read this aloud to my 4th & 5th graders, and they enjoyed it and were able to ask intelligent questions. They did get a bit sidetracked by the picture which included a naked baby, however.
