Book cover I Ain't Gonna Paint No More!
Karen Beaumont (2005) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by David Catrow
Audience: Preschool, Primary (k-3rd grade)
Category: Humor, NCCBA, Read Aloud, Realistic Fiction
(This book has outstanding illustrations)


When a young child gets caught by his mother painting everything from floors to doors, he is told that he cannot paint any more. However the paint in the top of the closet is too hard to resist and the child is soon painting himself from his head to his feet! David Catrow does a beautiful job of showing the bright colors that the child uses not only to paint the house but himself as well. Black and white ink drawings cleverly show what has not been painted yet. Children and adults of all ages are going to enjoy singing along with this witty song/story.

I enjoyed reading this book out loud. I really liked how he painted his legs! The pictures are funny to look at. His chest was painted on with swirls. It was a good book.

I am a Kindergarten teacher. I read this book to my students. They LOVED it and wanted me to read it again as soon as I had finished reading it.
