Title: Excellent
Review: Younger grades or reluctant report-writers will find this biography extremely useful. Mike Venezia has a signature style -- he tells the facts through photographs of the artist's own work, a plain and clear text, and vivid cartoons that emphasize and reinforce the main points of the biography. This is very well done, even if a little corny. You may need to explain to a literal-minded child that these are jokes, not facts -- to our knowledge, Klee did not paint with his violin bow -- but the image reinforces how Klee had to choose between two passions (music and art.)32 pages, LOTS of photographs.
