Great art books for children, teens and adults too...and art supplies kids love!

I order and read (a lot) of art related books from Amazon.ca to prepare art classes and for my own enjoyment.
Here are some of my favourites.

For young children, any colouring books from Prestel publisher.
More than a colouring book. Children learn about the artist and his/her life and are encouraged to try the artist's style

          


An inspiring true story about the life of Henri Rousseau. Beautiful story, fantastic illustration in the style of the artist. (My favourite artist).

I read all the reviews on Amazon.ca and could not wait to receive the book. I was not disappointed.
