Lovely childrens book, with some great facts and nice illustrations. My seven year old enjoyed reading it, as did I. Recommened.

Informative and easy to read. There was so much more to Vincent van Gogh's life than I knew about till now. The book also has actions and challenges throughout the book to do yourself.

I’m ashamed to say I didn’t know Vincent’s full story and it has been told in this book in an extremely moving and gripping style.
The love between Vincent and his Brother, Theo, is inspiring and very touchingly.

The illustrations in the book are wonderful and bring Van Gogh’s work to life, they are coupled with prompts to encourage children to create their own master pieces.

This book does touch on mental health and suicide but I see this as a another accolade for this wonderful book.

Such an incredible, gorgeous, beautifully illustrated book which is an incredible introduction to one of the most famous and influential artists in history! Perfect for young readers, this beautifully illustrated book introduces children to the short but full life of Vincent Van Gogh, in a way that is easy to understand. I love the many art activities and creative prompts to follow throughout and at the end of the book. The timeline of his life links well to history and acts as a great summary that can be used for artist studies. A perfect resources for teachers who wish to teach about specific artists. highly recommend.

Gorgeous book which serves as a perfect introduction to one of the most famous artists! Beautifully illustrated throughout, this book covers the story of Vincent's short but productive life, in a way perfect for young readers. Along the way there are many art activities and creative prompts to follow, and this would be perfect for art educators like myself to use.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me access an advance copy of this book in exchange for my feedback.

I read this book this afternoon and I thought that it was excellent.

I loved the way that his story was told and his mental health struggles were also covered and dealt with quite delicately when you look at the age range for the book too.

It was very well illustrated as you would expect with the focus of the book being on one of the world's most famous artists.

It is 5 stars from me for this one, I thoroughly enjoyed it - very highly recommended!

Such a beautiful book! I love Vincent van Gogh, and I'm always ready to read everything about him. This children's book didn't disappoint. It is easy to read, and the illustrations are lovely. Great book!

I don't think they could have picked a better artist for this book. The art style is so complementary to Vincent's without being a carbon copy nor does it detract from teaching about his art. I will always be in awe of van gogh and his life and I think this is a great, simplified version of his life for kids

A very good book, that combines the life story of Vincent van Gogh with impetus at the end – and, at first (in rather unsettling fashion), on the pages of the narrative itself – for our own works of art. Such an idea is normally fabulous, and we get a good look at the esteemed New York Met and their van Gogh holdings, too – it's just a pity the narrative ignored the less-is-more lesson. What we see of his peripatetic life is interesting, but only to a point, and only to where it inflects on the art lessons he received. The narrative we get here, however, features each and every house move, every switch in consideration, every different job – and Vincent was a man who, for one reason or another, changed his hats more seldom than he changed home, career and intent. Having all the changes in these pages then is partly the fault of the man himself, but partly in the book, wanting everything but brevity. As far as giving us an appreciation of the man (sans mental problems where possible), and a good look at some of his art, it is still pretty damned high quality, but I would have changed the level of biographical detail.

This is one of The Met's titles, that chronicles the life and work of one artist. This illustrated volume focuses on Vincent Van Gogh.

I have a love for many different artists without being aware of anything other than the briefest of details for their lives outside of the canvas. This simple and brief guide has allowed me to become acquainted with who the artist was, where he resided, and facts about his life from infancy and up until death.

I appreciated how this was laid out chronologically but also contained a timeline for some of Van Gogh's most infamous pieces at the end. This volume was illustrated on every page, in a bright and vivid style, and also contained many ideas for younger readers to look at the world with an artist's eye. It is a great read for a younger audience but I also found it highly interesting, as I knew very few of the facts it contained.
