When Pigasso Met Mootisse

by: Nina Laden
What a fantastic book to introduce some masters to your child. Wonderful, bright pictures and an adorable story!

Pablo Picasso: Breaking All the Rules: Breaking All the Rules (Smart About Art)

This book is great for an adult trying to understand Picasso's art from a child's perspective. It does not try to be esoteric but instead keeps things simple which was helpful to me as I prepared for a discussion on Picasso with elementary school students.

Picasso Line Drawings and Prints (Dover Art Library)

This book of Picasso's sketches show the essence of who Picasso really was. They provide a great insight into his style and his sensuality.

Picasso and the Girl with a Ponytail

by: Laurence Anholt
While this is a beautifully illustrated book, looking to be ment for children, there are some awefully deep emotional parts in it that I skip over when reading to my 4 year old. It is a longer picture book and geared towards 2-4th graders. It's interesting and tells a lot about Picasso and his works, but could do without his subject's tormented and emotionally disturbing past.
