(3) K-3 Carolrhoda On My Own Books series. Illustrated by Janice Lee Porter. Picasso's life story is told with economy, verve, and diplomacy. While emphasis is placed on anecdotes that will appeal to children (we learn that Picasso's son's toy cars were used to make a baboon sculpture), there's no attempt to dodge complex subjects like cubism, Guernica, and the artist's moral lapses. The moody, textured illustrations, which include fine imitations of Picasso's paintings, complement the master's style.
