I have bought these books for my classroom. I teach Pre-K. The three of the books are higher than Pre-Kindergarten level but I think if you want to introduce an artist and his art; you can modify your lesson while using these books.
The Venezia series of books and videos are absolutely wonderful! We use them in our art history program for schools. I liked this book as it represents the artist well and understandably for elementary aged students.
Using this book to teach about Van Gogh, postimpressionism, "Starry Night" and "Wheatfield with Cypresses" to 5th & 6th grade art students. The only thing I did not like is that the book was starkly frank about Van Gogh's death. Since some of my students have been touched with the suicide of a dear friend in the not too distant past, I plan to reword things in a more gentle tone. Otherwise, the book is great.
