Anonymouse is a unique picture book focusing on art.

This book initially flew over my head until I read some more reviews on it. In that regards, I think it is slightly confusing. I figured it was art, and I figured it was cute everyone agreed to be artsy to make up for Anonymouse's disappearance... but it still felt like it was missing a little something.

Those who understand the references will appreciate it more. Perhaps I wasn't the ideal reader. I do think it's a fun, little picture book that kids will find fun to read.

Three out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Canada for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review. ( )

art for all ( )

This gorgeously illustrated story looks at how public art, even gorilla art like Banksy can enliven the lives of a city’s citizens. The story is simple, but it works on all levels. It makes one want to go out and start making art of their own. ( )
