PreS-Gr 2–Cam, a young boy with brown skin, loves to create art. He makes different types of art all day, and his father either proudly hangs it up or displays it nearby. One day, Cam gets a dog who he names Art. The friendly dog not only loves art like Cam, but also tries to make his own art, leading to several artistic mishaps. This is a refreshing early reader that combines story, easy-to-understand words, and pictures into a book that can be proudly given to the youngest readers. The font is large, and appealing pictures of Cam and Art make readers want to learn more about this duo.
VERDICT Give to patrons who are eager for an compelling story as well as a book to develop their vocabulary.
