reviewed Bonjour, Mr. Satie on
For me, this is one of the most charming books in Tomie dePaola's vast collection of wonderful works. Younger children can enjoy the story about the adventures of a beloved cat uncle and his rodent companion. Older children will like the tale of a "contest" between two artists with differing styles. And best of all, adults who are reading this will delight in the historical references to real-life characters and dePaola's deft depiction of "crazy" Pablo's and "humdrum" Henri's paintings. (Note: the reprint of this book is entitled "Mr. Satie and the Great Art Contest.")
