Review Detail

IZZY PAINTS is an adorable book celebrating art and creativity. Izzy visits a museum and experiences art, enjoying the feelings and messages in the art she sees. When she gets home, she decides to create some of her own, enjoying the types of things she can create with her paint. She creates something lovely and is happy to share.

What I loved: This is a sweet story about the magic of art and the way that it can move and inspire you. The book is told in simple phrases that will work well for young readers, with some subtle jokes that adults will understand and enjoy - such as Izzy feeling inspired by art of food and receiving the message - to then enjoy those foods herself. The story reads quickly with the adorable Izzy sharing her experiences with the reader. The end will inspire children to create their own art with a message about creating and sharing that works well for little ones.

The font is bold and large throughout, which makes it easy to read aloud. The pages turn quickly, which is great for toddlers. The simple story will work well for preschoolers and young elementary school readers as well.

Final verdict: IZZY PAINTS is a clever and cute picture book about the magic of art that is great for toddlers and preschoolers.
