(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Doogie Horner. Anecdotal accounts of seventeen famous artists' early childhood experiences, many of which will be familiar to present-day kids, demonstrate that fame didn't come in a day. Stories are grouped together thematically, into sections focusing on poverty, unpopularity, the need for persistence, and the role of the natural world. Comics-style drawings throughout add humorous touches to the breezy narratives. Bib., ind.
