EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Product Description
Young Camille befriends a strange visitor to his small town, and one day he brings this man a gift of bright, beautiful sunflowers. The man is the artist Vincent van Gogh, and the sunflowers quickly become the subject of a magnificent painting. This is a title in Barron’s Anholt’s Artists Books for Children series, in which author and illustrator Laurence Anholt recalls memorable and sometimes amusing moments when the lives of the artists were touched by children. Anholt’s fine illustrations appear on every page and include reproductions of works by the artists.

art books for children  
Wonderful book but exactly the same as Camille and the Sunflowers, which I also bought. My granddaughters (age 10, 7, and 4) love it. I bought the entire series.

Great book!  
I read the review about Van Gogh shooting himself - so before I purchased the book, I checked it out at the local library. No reference was made to suicide in the book I read.

van Gogh and the Sunflowers  
I thought this book would be a good gift for a 6-year old who loves to draw and paint. He was very happy to get the book until he was read the ending where van Gogh gets a gun and shoots himself in the head. I am very disappointed that this is marketed as a children's book.
