Art and Max Reviews
"A truly original picture-book, celebrating the transformative potential of art and friendship." * Irish Times, Robert Dunbar * "It just seems to dig a little deeper than many other picture books. A hint of Salvador Dali to the backdrops." * Teach Primary Magazine * "Beautifully colourful and humorous, with a wise message." * The School Librarian * "Artwork is wonderful. Lots of humour. Lovely story to share repeatedly." * Bookbag * "Sophisticated and playful, this beautiful mind-stretcher invites viewers to think about art's fundamentals: line, color, shape, and imaginative freedom." * Booklist *
