Welcome to this weeks book review. The book that I am reviewing today is entitled "Artists and Their Pets: True Stories of Famous Artists and Their Animal Friends." The book is written by Susie Hodge, and it is written with younger readers in mind.
I really enjoyed this book. I have to say that it didn't have as much emphasis on the pets and animals as I thought it would. With that said, the book does provide a nice introduction to some of the great artists who did have animal companions.
There are several pages of text devoted to each artist. Included in the book are the artists Pablo Picasso, Norman Rockwell, Franz Marc, Paul Klee, Edwin Landseer and many others.
This would be a good book for children who are interested in art and artists. The pet and animal aspect is also interesting to provide more depth to the personality of each artist.
