Art and Max by David Wiesner

This is a tale of two lizards. Art can paint masterpieces, but Max can't and pleads with Art (or Arthur as he prefers to be called) to teach him. What follows is a disastrous, hilarious lesson in various forms of art media.
I'll admit it, the cover is what really drew (no pun intended) to this book. I just love the facial expressions on both lizards throughout the book itself. Arthur is serious and thoughtful while little Max is just a little too enthusiastic about learning. Plus, who can resist lizards with paintbrushes? This book is great for budding artists ages 8 and up.

The Lion and the Little Red Bird by Elisa Kleven

This is a sweet story about the friendship between a curious red bird and an gentle, artistic lion. The bird wonders why the lion's tail keeps changing colors, but the lion doesn't understand her. When he rescues the bird from a storm, she discovers the lion's secret. I really liked the various kinds of art median decorated throughout the entire book, and the story is very gentle, perfect for bedtime. Great for children of all ages.
