Why read it?

1 author picked If Picasso Painted a Snowman as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

More recently he has teamed up with his wife Amy to create a series of picture books showcasing the styles of renowned artists. This first book takes snowmen and imagines what they would look like if painted by artists such as Van Gogh, Dali, Picasso, O’Keefe, and others. An excellent introduction to the painting styles of famous artists, with informative text to reinforce the idea that “not all artists paint the same.” 

From Caralyn's list on snow and snowmen.
