Children's Book review

Pablo the Artist

By Satoshi Kitamura

Published by Andersen Press

Pablo the elephant is looking for inspiration so he can enter a picture in the art exhibition. His friends suggest he paints a landscape so off he goes to the country where he overcomes his artist’s block and dreams up a wonderful painting full of colour and life. This is another brilliant story from Satoshi Kitamura about inspiration and colour, which also provides a gentle introduction to art for young children. The colourful and lively illustrations add humour to an original book that provides plenty to talk about!
