Primary "... text relays the joy of being messy on purpose and making art at the same time... in the "My Very Favorite Art Book" series... as attractive and well organized as its predecessors. Following an introductory double-page spread that lists supplies and reminds kids to keep paint where paint belongs... describes a variety of painting techniques... to create intriguing designs--finger- and hand-printing, patterning, scraping... even painting with feet and palms. Pictures in a rainbow of brilliant colors accompany the instructions, supplying children with examples to copy and inspiration to extend what they have learned... Excellent for teachers, and, with oversight from adults, for kids themselves." - Booklist, Jun 1 & 15/06.
