Summary: One of my favorite books
Comment: I am in fifth grade. My library teacher read "The Painter" to us. It was confusing at first but the more we got into the book the more interesting it got. The pictures were wonderful and the story was super! It's about a little girl who wants to play with her father. He won't let her into his studio until she finally asks to paint with him. If you want to find out what happens next, you'll have to read Peter Catalanotto's, "The Painter." He came to our school and told us how he writes and illustrates his books. He was the best visiting author ever!

Summary: Teacher's Choice
Comment: An absolutely beautiful book! This picture book is a favorite with my kindergartners each year. The watercolored illustrations allow us to peek at the artist's life, "meet" his family, and share in the joy of art. We love to study the paintings and look for the subtleties which Catalanotto includes in his work, (students are excited to see a picture of the dalmatian from Dylan's Day Out on the studio wall). We talk about the daughter's disappointment when daddy can't play because he's painting, but we feel her happiness when he's dancing with her after lunch (the most breathtaking painting in the book). Young readers love the watercolor by the daughter at the end; my kindergartners are inspired to paint the same rainbow and birds for the rest of the school year! Every primary teacher should have this wonderful book as part of the classroom library. Curriculum connection: art, family, love, artists and painters, parents who work at home.

Summary: Simple short text, good for 3's and 4's/
Comment: For preschool teachers and parents who like books which address reality (and issues)this story subtly addresses the pro's and con's of a work-at-home parent. It also shows Mom working at he computer and Dad as an artist. Very nice.
