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
