Great list- some of them are new to me but my ALL TIME favorite with children in art class is "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds. This is a fun one to do an activity with afterwards.

Great list... you've provided me with some new books to explore. I also like Regina's Big Mistake by Marissa Moss.

In addition to The Dot and Ish, I also read The Art Lesson by Tomie DePaola to preservice teachers each semester to bring up all kinds of topics from creativity to classroom management.

This book is wonderful for Knd students when teaching about primary colors mixing to make secondary colors. Every time the rabbit jumped into a bucket of paint and made a new color, they would all cheer. The kids absolutely loved it!
