This book is definitely appropriate for young elementary students. Of course, I really liked it too. Each page has only a few words, all coming together across the pages to tell the story. The words that are on the page, though, are very descriptive: "the curliest cue." All of the words are accompanied by a drawing. The drawings are also very simple, done in either black and white or reds, blues, and yellows.
And the story is about art. Well, art and Art. Art, the visual representations and Art, the boy who is creating art. The double use of art was fun to work through. I feel like it might get a little lost on young kids, but it would be fun for them nonetheless.
And at the end of the book, Art's art is hung on the fridge, where all good art deserves to go.
