C. Press/F. Watts Trade Salvador Dali (Revised Edition) (Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists)

Hasn't fired up the grandkids, but early days maybe. Otherwise good.

Great book, but very thin cover. Didnt look quite new, appeared rather faced on cover but could just be the colours.

Ben fatto. Molto utile per studenti elementari/medie

So, I bought this book for a program where parents come and talk to the class at my son's school. Salvador Dali was one of my favorite artists in my youth. I liked the elephants with the really long legs the best. That image is not in this book. What IS in this book is discussion of how Dali's brother died and his parents treated him as though he was his brother. A lover's tryst. And, a reference to Hitler. Let's just say I was mortified while reading the book to the class. No, no, no!I expected a highly rated Scholastic book to be child appropriate without controversy. What I got was a weird book about a weird guy whose elephants I don't even like anymore.

My son and I read the book before our trip to the Dali Museum. It was well written in a very comprehensible manner and gave a good overview of the artist. The pictures were a great addition along with the humor.
