Plot Summary
A child who loves to paint just can't put down his paintbrush. He paints anything in his sight - the walls, ceilings, the tub, his dog, and himself - from head to toe, much to his mother's dismay, of course!
Critical Analysis
A small child gets carried away with the paints! After painting the ceilings and the walls a delightful blend of imagination and color, he tries to stop but just can't help himself! From within the musical rhythm of the word patterns (the tune "It Ain't Gonna Rain No More") a craftily written predictable story emerges - one that will have its readers shrieking with laughter! The ink and paint illustrations are top-notch, plastering the endpages and every page in between with any combination of comical characters, eye-catching color, and lots of squiggly lines and fun designs.
Review Excerpts
KIRKUS REVIEWS: "Here's one that kids will beg for again and again and again."
SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL: "With rhymes that invite audience participation and scenes that draw the eye, this is a strong storytime choice."
