Book Reviews of The Crocodile's True Colors (Children's Best-Sellers)

Book Review: RECOMMENDED by LIBRARY MEDIA CONNECTION
Summary: 4 Stars

The following review appeared in the January 2003 issue of LIBRARY MEDIA CONNECTION:

Even young children will come to understand various styles of art, including Expressionism, Cubism, Futurism, Abstractionism, and Dada, as they follow the artwork of a school full of African animals.... This is a clever way of helping children understand how art styles work, and art teachers will appreciate having it.... The author's effective watercolor illustations help children understand artistic variations. RECOMMENDED.

Summary of The Crocodile's True Colors (Children's Best-Sellers)

In the grasslands of Africa, a group of young animals think they know all about the crocodile who swims in the river beneath their school. He is the most ferocious creature on earth . . . or is he? When the animals try painting portraits of him, they learn there is no one way to see anything, even a crocodile. In this heartwarming tale, author and illustrator Eva Montanari makes abstract concepts easy to understand, bringing them vividly to life. With age-appropriate text and gorgeous illustrations, The Crocodile's True Colors uses adorable animals and a captivating, yet simple plot to draw children into learning about perception and art. A true delight for story lovers of all ages!
