Mary Cassatt: Family Pictures (Smart About Art) Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Mary Cassatt is most famous for her paintings of mothers and babies, and that's what first attracts "Claire" because she has a new baby sister. But through research for her class report Claire learns many surprising facts about Mary: she was an American who lived in France nearly all her life, she never married or had children herself, and she became a professional artist at a time when respectable ladies simply did not do that! With beautiful reproductions of Mary Cassatt's best-loved paintings as well as lively childlike pictures that illustrate her life, this Smart About Art book gives children a wonderful "portrait" of a great artist and fascinating woman.Illustrated by Jennifer Kalis.

I use the books in this series in my artroom - K-12 - and this little compilation about the artist is very useful and colourful and a good introduction to Mary Cassatt. Good examples of her work to accompany the text.
I have several of the books in this series. They are a wonderful introduction to the artist for young children... and for me! I bought the books in sets of 4, to get the "buy 3, get one free" deal!
This is a wonderful book about Mary Cassatt. It is done from the perspective of a child who admires Mary Cassatt paintings and is in the process of learning more about her. She even copies some of her paintings in photography and drawings. Very sweet and helpful in motivating a child about painting or learning more about painters. They no longer have to fear being a nerd, learning about painting is cool!
These are great books for young people to learn about artists and deepen their interest in art. Highly recommend these books.
Wonderful service. Got for my granddaughter, so she could learn more about the worlds great artists. Good serives
My students enjoy these books!
I thought this book was really charming and that its combination of prints by Mary Cassatt and the line drawings of the child who is telling the story made this very appealing to me. But I am an adult and don't know how a child would react to this. Perhaps I can field test it on a great-niece.
