Greg Newbold's chameleon-like artistry shows us Roy Lichtenstein's snow hero saving the day, Georgia O'Keefe's snowman blooming in the desert, Claude Monet's snowmen among haystacks, Grant Wood's American Gothic snowman, Jackson Pollock's snowman in ten thousand splats, Salvador Dali's snowmen dripping like melty cheese, and snowmen as they might have been rendered by J. M. W. Turner, Gustav Klimt, Paul Klee, Marc Chagall, Georges Seurat, Pablita Velarde, Piet Mondrian, Sonia Delaunay, Jacob Lawrence, and Vincent van Gogh. Our guide for this tour is a lively hamster who--also chameleon-like--sports a Dali mustache on one spread, a Van Gogh ear bandage on the next. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"What would your snowman look like?\" the book asks, and then offers a page with a picture frame for a child to fill in. Backmatter thumbnail biographies of the artists complete this highly original tour of the creative imagination that will delight adults as well as children.\u003c\/p\u003e Fountas \u0026amp; Pinnell Level O\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNewbold, Amy:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - AMY NEWBOLD conceived \u003cstrong\u003eIF PICASSO PAINTED A SNOWMAN\u003c\/strong\u003e book while visiting the Musée Picasso in Paris.
