Edgar Degas books

Degas and the Little Dancer (Anholt's Artists Books for Children)

by: Laurence Anholt
My 9 year old daughter read this book just before we went to Paris and literally dragged me to the Musee d'Orsay to see all works by Edgar Degas. She then read everything else by Anholt and is now chafing at the bit to see works by Picasso. Anholt's books are wonderfully illustrated, show the works of the artists, and know how to appeal to a child's imagination. We are fans.

Edgar Degas: Paintings That Dance: Paintings That Dance (Smart About Art)

As a teacher looking to add to her biography collection, this series is a dream come true. It's written in a style that is attractive and holds a child's attention. There is a mixture of real art pieces and drawings done by the book's illustrator. It's a painless way of learning new information. I highly recommend all books in this series for any 3-5 grade teacher.

Dancing with Degas

I got this book for my daughter when she was a baby. She's 2 1/2 now and still enjoys it. I probably like it more than she does. The pictures are just beautiful.
