Great for teachers, parents and art loversSeptember 21, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is presented in a child-friendly but never condescending manner, and it's filled with creative ideas for projects. Young artists, teachers and parents can all enjoy learning about Hundertwasser, his art and architecture style, and his passionate enthusiasm for the environment. I only wish I had been introduced to this inspirational artist as a child with such a book.
