The Boy Who Bit Picasso

Sweet book about Picasso through the eyes of a child. Lovely photos, but I think I would have preferred more poetic prose ... still love it as part of my Picasso collection. My 6 year old read it but he didn't think much of it.

I have just read this for the 1st time to my 4.5 year old son. He really enjoyed it and was very captivated by the sculpture photos and explanations. This is a really interesting, educational book which doesn't feel like an educational book. I also enjoyed reading it and it gave us a lot to talk about. Sweet!

This book is suitable for quite young children with very simple, short text, but I love how it makes the life of a famous artist so accessible, I enjoyed reading it myself.

This book is lovely! My class of FS/Y1 pupils loved it and it has become a real favourite! It is funny and informative.

Lovely insight into Picasso and his life through a boy's eyes. My daughter and I both enjoyed the story. We also saw the show that was taken from the book, which was also excellent. Even my husband is starting to like some of Picasso 's work.

Loved it

A delightful children's book by Antony Penrose, son of Lee Miller and Roland Penrose, with beautiful photos and examples of Picasso's work. He was a friend of the family, visited their family home Farley Farm House, East Sussex, and got to know the author as a small boy.

Wonderful book that we got after seeing the children's stage production which was equally wonderful. Lovely story.
