绘本内容
A madcap painting romp finds a little boy covered head-to-toe in paint-and then he finds himself in the tub. Sung (there’s no other way to read this story) to the tune of It Ain’t Gonna Rain No More, the text leads its protagonist from initial misdeed to his mother’s injunction against painting to a clandestine orgy of self-decoration, body part by body part: I take some red / and I paint my . . . / HEAD! / Now I ain’t gonna paint no more. / Aw, what the heck! / Gonna paint my . . . / NECK! -and so on. One of Catrow’s patented twisted kewpies, the paint-addicted tot is depicted against a pristine black-and-white (and just cleaned) house, the only color his striped pajamas and the paints-and his increasingly gloppy self. His dog looks on with bewilderment as not only his owner but his own body becomes a Technicolor masterpiece. The bounce of the song is echoed in an animated typography in which not one word is horizontally aligned. Here’s one that kids will beg for again and again and again.
–Picture book, 3-7, Kirkus Reviews.
A dab of blue here, a splash of red there, a goopy smear of green…everywhere. To the tune of “It Ain’t Gonna Rain No More,” one creative kid floods his world with color, painting first the walls, then the ceiling, then HIMSELF! Before this feisty artist is through, he’ll have painted his head, back, hands, legs, feet, and…Oh no–here comes Mama!
Karen Beaumont’s zippy text and David Catrow’s zany illustrations turn an infamous childhood activity into raucous storytime fun, giving a silly twist to the fine art of self-expression.
