BOB THE ARTIST

A new edition of Marion Deuchars’ enduringly popular Bob the Artist. An enduring story about discovering what makes us unique, with a special arty spin. Bob’s bullies tease him for having skinny legs. Feeling self-conscious, at first he tries to change them, then he tries to hide them. Until art gives him confidence to express and be himself – and even his bullies are impressed. He discovers Matisse’s leafy cut-outs, Jackson Pollock’s expressive drip paintings, and Mondrian’s abstract grids. Modern art gives Bob the confidence to express and be himself – so much so that even his bullies are impressed.
