Art Dog (Trophy Picture Books (Paperback))

I am a volunteer reader reading to students elementary school students, K - 5. Art Dog has been part of my classroom repertoire for over 6 years. The kids love this book. The storyline, the villains, and the hero...the suspense, the drama, and the fun. The beautiful colors & illustrations they all make for a great experience. Then there's the art and references to great artist like Van Gogh, Matisse, Picasso, and Renoir, this books continues to give. I love it, I love reading it and the kids request this book over and over again. I am buying another copy for a relative who is in her first year as a Kindergarten teacher.

My favorite book when I was a kid. Bought it for my 7 year old niece who loves it just as much.

My granddaughter loves this book and I've read it to her many times in a row. We saw the play and that was fun, too. The humor is multi-layered, appealing to me as well as to her. I showed her the actual paintings that were spoofed (dog-ified) in the book and she loved the humor of the dog art. The result is that she has learned quite a bit about art and we recently held a show of her work in my house that we called "Art Girl."

I'm a preschool art teacher and bought this book because I wanted to have more art-related books to read to the children. It's a little too long for 2-3 year olds (their attention spans can't handle it!), but with my 4s and kindergartners, they love it! Especially the boys. Every time the kindergartners come to my class, they bring up "Art Dog" and want me to read it. Definitely a great read for kids in Pre-K/Kindergarten!

Great book! I teach are and it is a fun book to read to the class.

The illustrations are so brilliant that I can explain the real masterpieces to my grandson. Bought this book 3 or 4 years ago, and my grandson, who is now almost 9 still likes me to read it to him (yes, he can read, but why bother when grandma is around). I am saving it for the next one.

Just as puctured great sturdy quality

One of our favorites. I wish it was available for kindle.

Excellent book, loved the references to famous artists and my 4 year old thought the story was exciting and funl!
