Gr 3-7Cohen emphasizes the artist's philosophy of painting "America at its best" in this lively biographical account. Black-and-white photographs of Rockwell and his family appear throughout as do numerous examples of his paintings, reproduced in full color. Cohen points out that his subject first immersed himself in painting to overcome the taunts he received as a child for being gawky and nonathletic. The artist's work for the Saturday Evening Post is highlighted and background information is provided for some his most famous illustrations. Although no sources are cited, Cohen includes quotes from Rockwell, supporting his dedication to his art and personal beliefs of "kindness, decency, friendship, family ties, and patriotism," which now are synonymous with the man. A list of museums that house his work is appended. A readable introduction to Rockwell's life and times.Cheryl Cufari, Glencliff Elementary School, Niskayuna, NY (c) Copyright 2010.

Illustrated with black-and-white photographs of the artist and color reproductions of some of his well-known works, this book ably describes Rockwell's aspirations and talent for depicting homespun American values on canvas. Unfortunately, the text is not as successful at examining his personal life, rendering an incomplete portrait that contains contradictions and hints of issues left unexplored. Bib., ind.

Gr. 4^-6. This short, accessible biography presents the life and work of illustrator Norman Rockwell. Most of the book follows the artist's life chronologically, but one entertaining chapter relates his techniques and experiences using models when painting. Illustrations include 16 full-color reproductions of Rockwell's paintings; many black-and-white photos of the artist, his family, and his models; and a number of his ink drawings, used quite effectively as small sketches at the beginning of each chapter. Children, teachers, and "picture people" in the schools will find this a good introduction to a beloved American artist. --Carolyn Phelan
