I Ain’t Gonna Paint No More!

CRITICS HAVE SAID

  • With rhymes that invite audience participation and scenes that draw the eye, this is a strong storytime choice.
    –Steven Engelfried, School Library Journal
  • Given the plot’s premise, Catrow’s humorously hyperbolic art fittingly takes center stage here, growing increasingly flamboyant and electric as the boy embellishes more and more of his anatomy-and his playful pooch becomes equally well decorated.
    –Publishers Weekly
  • Here’s one that kids will beg for again and again and again.
    –Kirkus Reviews
