<p>Have you ever seen a "work of art" worth millions, which looks like something your child just brought home from school?</p><p>The dual perspective of "Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder" and just a little bit of "The Emperor's New Clothes" is evident in this clever artwork story of a child who paints a fingerpaint print in class and then loses it in the wind on the way home.</p><p>Illustrated from the point of view of a child, whose identity is left to the imagination of the reader since all of the illustrations are what the child sees, the fingerpaint print is interpreted by official "judges" as well as by bystanders. Should people be influenced by what others see, or use their own self-esteem to make their own judgments? This coloring book version allows children to illustrate their own version of the book, and even to create a "masterpiece" of their own!</p><p>This is the fourth rhyming children's coloring book by this award-winning author, whose other bestselling books include David's ADHD, My Little Angel, The Golden Rule, Mice & Spiders & Webs...Oh My!, Manner-Man, Gimme-Jimmy, The Magic Word, Peter and the Whimper-Whineys and Santa's Birthday Gift.</p><p><strong>About The Author:</strong> Former teacher Sherrill S. Cannon has won over 100 awards for her previous rhyming books and coloring books, and is also the author of 7 published and internationally performed plays for elementary school children. She has been called "a modern day Dr. Seuss." - GTMA Review</p>

So glad I did!<br /><br /> I found the initial few chapters a bit tough going (time seemed to pass quite quickly in a few short pages) but as I read on I found it almost palpable as to when the author found his stride and it really comes across that he genuinely enjoyed the subject material he was writing about. The mortal characters are believable, just as the denizens of Hell are terrifying to picture in the minds eye.<br /><br /> The descriptions are great at painting a picture while very rarely breaking the pathos of the story (I found the interpretation of the Devil particularly intriguing) and the main plot twist is so shocking and unexpected I had to re-read it to make sure I actually grasped the situation fully!<br /><br /> Overall, this was a fantastic read and I can honestly say that if the next books are anything like this, then this may well be one of the best series I have read in a very long time. This thoroughly deserves it's five stars!</div> </div> </div> <div class="a-section celwidget"> <div class="a-row a-spacing-micro"> <div class="a-icon-row a-spacing-none"><a class="a-link-normal a-text-normal a-color-base" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R1HBZ96AECFDF/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN=0992688906&channel=detail-glance&nodeID=266239&store=books"><span class="a-size-base a-text-bold">Omg amazing!</span></a></div> <span class="a-color-secondary"><span class="a-size-normal"><span class="a-color-secondary">By </span> <a class="noTextDecoration" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/pdp/profile/A32GJGCRYWVN23/ref=cm_cr_dp_pdp">Natalie Sarah Toms</a> </span> <span class="a-color-secondary"> on 19 April 2014</span></span></div> <div class="a-row a-spacing-small"><span class="a-size-mini a-color-secondary">Format: Kindle Edition</span><span class="a-size-mini a-color-state a-text-bold"> Verified Purchase </span> <div class="a-section">I found out last year that a friend was publishing these books but didn't think much about it. but omg Dom you've done it!!!
