Art. Dec. 2008. 5min. Weston Woods, DVD, $59.95 (9780545106351). PreS-Grade 2. REVIEW. First published March 15, 2009 (Booklist).A jazzy music score and Bobby McFerrin’s rhythmic narration accent this animated adaptation of Patrick McDonnell’s energetic picture book (2006) featuring rhyming text. “This is Art,” proclaims narration against the image of a young boy, aptly named, who loves to create artwork. Some of his art eventually ends up on the front door of the refrigerator. The youngster uses crayons, pencils, and brushes to create squiggles, dots, swirls, and doodles that eventually become art. Lively and engaging, this film is a perfect choice to encourage young viewers to create their own masterpieces. An interview with author McDonnell is a nice bonus. This 2009 Notable Children’s Videos selection might be paired with 2005 Carnegie Medal winner The Dot.April 8, 2009
