From Booklist
*Starred Review* PreS-Gr. 1. There are many books about art for young children, but few of them get right down to their level the way this does. Jessica's grandfather is an artist, and she likes to visit him, so they can paint together. The simple story line is also an art lesson, as Grandpa explains that the colors he squeezes from the tube are "enough to make all the colors of the rainbow." There are also words of wisdom about making mistakes and "trying to make the colors sing." The result of the collaboration by the two artists, "Lunchtime for a Purple Snake," makes for a delightful conclusion. The art and the design of this are both marvelously childlike. The two layers of art--the actual illustrations and the paintings Grandpa and Jessica do--both have the look of a child's renderings. McKie creates characters that might be related to Mr. Potato Head, simplicity themselves, set against backgrounds of geometric shapes and pure colors. Jessica's actual artwork is as basic in form as a young child's would be--and it is full of a child's exuberance and imagination. Budding artists, at home or in class, will learn from this and receive inspiration. Ilene Cooper
