Picasso's Trousers

A child-friendly picture book biography, featuring reproductions of Picasso masterpieces and a foldout representation of Picasso at work

People were always saying, "No! No! No! Picasso!"
But Picasso said . . . "Yes!"

In this funny and accessible introduction to Picasso and art, children learn that daring to be different can be rewarding. Picasso doesn't listen when people tell him "No!" Instead, he paints all-blue pictures, all-pink pictures, plus pictures from the front and side all at the same time. He makes art out of bike parts and he can draw pictures in less than 60 seconds. Soon he becomes one of the greatest painters in the world, but he still wants to be different.
