The art supplies have come to life and . Such fun use of double meanings making silly jokes that kids will enjoy. At one point a marker "has the runs," really don't want the "ewwwwww"'s that are sure to follow that line. Illustrations are primitively drawn with bright colors, enhancing the "art project" feel of the story. ( )

Art's supplies make the best pictures when they all get together and have a party! A cute book that brings art supplies to life and teaches about the different tools used in art.

Tougas, Chris. Art's Supplies. Orca Book Publishers, 2010. This is an e-book that I got through Tubmle Books at the LACounty Public Library website. It was free and didn't require a card to access. The main character is a little boy named Art and his supplies. As he turnes to a blank page his supplies add their own abilities to the work. They call it a party. They are having so much fun creating a picture. The illustrations are humourous and engaging. The e-book format is kid-friendly. The message is about enjoying the process of experimenting with your art supplies. It's like a party. I would use this to introduce art to students who are very young. Age Group: 5-8 years old. ( )

Very very punny! It's a comedic look at the havoc a boy's art supplies create when they throw a party. Some of the humor about drunken party goers will (hopefully) go over kid's heads. ( )
