Book review: "I Ain't Gonna Paint No More!" by Karen Beaumont

A lavishly illustrated children's picture book that combines rhythmic text with bright water colors and pen/ink art.

This is a story about a boy's irresistible need to paint everything in sight including his dog, which naturally upsets his mother. Of course, the boy and his dog keeps ending up in the bathtub.

Great for read alongs. Kids who love to paint will enjoy treasure this book.

I was fortunate enough to be in the presence of Karen Beaumon at the Menlo Park Library while she conducted a read along to a group of 30 or so children and parents. It was a joyous event!

Age recommendation: 2+
