Book Reviews of Camille and the Sunflowers
Book Review: A beautiful introduction to the magic & power of vanGogh
Summary: 5 Stars
Lusciously illustrated in a "mock van Gogh" style that adds to the understanding of his paintings, this book will delight your toddler and your older child, too. Based on real events (though clearly the edited highlights) it will help your child to understand the magic of art, and not just van Gogh's. No happy endings though, this is real life. Anholt treats the delicate subject of Vincent's mental instability and the ear-mutilation episode with sensitivity, understanding and pathos. Camille, the little boy in the title, struggles to come to terms with intolerence and misunderstanding through ignorance, whilst trying to be a real friend to Vincent. It is utterly charming and I have read it and re-read to my kids - because we all like it so much! This is not Anholt's only foray into making "high-brow" subjects like fine art accessible to children. His books on Degas and Picasso are also entirely enchanting.
