Very simple rhyming text. The illustrations really add a lot to this book. Shows children engaged in many types of artistry: painting, sculpting, making music, dancing, singing, sewing, and acting to name a few. I especially like the expressions on their faces. Fun to read this in the summertime when my kids and I are trying to do a formal art project at least once a week, music practice daily and lots of informal singing, dancing, painting, drawing, etc. A celebration of all forms of art. Atwork is detailed and showcases kids of many different skin tones. The children are drawn in a way that make them look old time-y and sweet. Text is simple and colorful. The story and pictures build upon each other and the culmintae into a big art show for parents. Although this title is not one I'd recommend for a read aloud, it is visually stunning and would be a great display item or book suggestion for readers/teachers interested in art.
