Okay, first read Art and Max, and THEN break out the brushes. This perfect combination of vibrant colors and expressive lizards has an unexpected and ingenious plot twist. Set against a drab desert backdrop, Art and Max's paint-splattered antics will encourage children to take up brushes and use their own imaginations.
Holding a paintbrush will help your preschooler with the fine motor skills necessary for writing and having him/her tell you a story about each masterpiece will develop important narrative skills.
Just make sure you've got a drop cloth down before you let your young Picassos loose after this glimpse into David Wiesner's world!
