This new book from the Newbolds follows the same format as their previous two books. They wonder if a specific artist painted a monster, what would it look like? Readers are introduced to sixteen artists and what their monsters might look like.
Thoughts: Another hit from this husband and wife team. Now that there are three books in the series, I can totally see the books becoming the idea behind an art program at my libraries. Monsters are another kid friendly topic and I can't wait to add this title to my monsters storytime in October. Again, I love that If Monet Painted a Monster includes an invitation to readers to create their own monsters. The back of the book includes a Meet the Artists section and Greg Newbold's Advice for Artists.
