This book could serve as a great introduction to such an influential artist. The writing does a nice job of posing questions to young readers about what they think about the artist's work. It would be practical to read before viewing Picasso's work in a museum or before looking at a broader spectrum of the artists work. Additionally, it also provides a nice introduction to cubism for young readers, and could be useful for art projects that are inspired by cubism.
A funny and informative biography of Picasso.
