5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful introduction to the magic & power of vanGogh, 19 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Lusciously illustrated in a "mock van Gogh" style that adds to the understanding of his paintings, this book will delight your toddler and your older child, too. Based on real events (though clearly the edited highlights) it will help your child to understand the magic of art, and not just van Gogh's. No happy endings though, this is real life. Anholt treats the delicate subject of Vincent's mental instability and the ear-mutilation episode with sensitivity, understanding and pathos. Camille, the little boy in the title, struggles to come to terms with intolerence and misunderstanding through ignorance, whilst trying to be a real friend to Vincent. It is utterly charming and I have read it and re-read to my kids - because we all like it so much! This is not Anholt's only foray into making "high-brow" subjects like fine art accessible to children. His books on Degas and Picasso are also entirely enchanting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic for literacy and art cross-curricular links., 22 Mar 2001
By A Customer
A lovely book with excellent illustrations encorporating Van Gough's own art work. This book gives a fictional view of Van Gough's thoughts behind some of his most beautiful work. The book comes complete with lesson ideas for year 2, although I used the book with a reception class as we were looking at Van Gough's sunflowers. It was a big hit as the children built up empathy with Van Gough and they produced brillant paintings themselves. It does not mention the ear!! and so is suitable for a primary age and is a fantastic teaching tool, and an easy to afford price!.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great way to introduce children to art., 29 Sep 2005
By ELH Browning "Esther-Lou" (Kingston Bagpuize, Oxon) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
I think this is a wonderful way to introduce children to the paintings of Van Gogh through a gentle story of Van Gogh's time in Camille's town. All the illustrations are in a Van Gogh-esque style and the yellow fields, night sky, house and chair etc appear just in the background illustrations. In addition there are reproductions of some portraits and the famous sunflower painting. The story is quite sad as it reflects the true story where Van Gogh is not accepted by the people of the town, but his unhappiness is relatively implicit so my children (2&4) understand this as teasing rather than anything stronger, and at the end when Van Gogh leaves but they just assume he's off to paint elsewhere. If you wanted to draw out lessons on being different, talk about great masters etc. this is a very good starting point.
