Andy Warhol

I learned so much about Andy Warhol. I wish the book went a little deeper in some topics, like when he was sick as a child. It made me research him more, but I don't know if a child would be inclined to do that as well. I like how this series focuses on uncommon people for biographies in a kid-friendly format. Just put a bit more details in it!!

This series is always a joy to read, it’s a really nice introduction to well known people for little children. Of course the plot is always a little bit fast but that’s to be expected and it’s totally understandable.
This book here is all about Andy Warhol, the king of Pop art. This artist definitely introduced new ways to look at art and also to create it! Thanks to him ordinary objects were turned into art and everyone loved it. Andy Warhol is a very known person in popular culture and so it was very interesting to read about him in this new volume of Little People, Big Dreams.

I want more!

This little book impressed me so much more so because of the personality that's being talked about.

Andy's pop art, his eccentric style and fashion, his dedication towards his art and creation: something that's motivational for me while reading this small illustrated book.

The art is eye-popping and full of life.

Thank you author and the publisher for the advance reading copy.

This one is all about Andy Warhol, who invented and made a name for pop art, art that depicts everyday stuff in bright colours.

I knew of him before reading this, but nothing <i>about</i> him, and this were a good introduction, a foundation on which to base reasearch if I were motivated enough. Kind of like you read a Wikipedia article before starting you real research, so you've got a basic idea of the direction it will take.
Only, you know, broken down in chunks and language that appeal to a young audience.

I am a big fan of learning while being entertained, and again, this series does exactly that.
The arc was provided by the publisher.

Children can learn about the artist, Andy Warhol in a very approachable way. His life is presented simply with beautiful illustrations. I liked learning about his childhood, vivid interior life, and what informed his as an artist. The vibrant illustrations really brought the story to life. What a beautiful addition to this series!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

Andy Warhol is the newest lead in this latest edition of the Little People, BIG DREAMS series by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara. This series is such a delight and the perfect way to educate not just kids but everyone about historic and cultural icons.

Andy Warhol is an American artist, film director, and producer who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. This book follows Warhol as he was a shy child to the creator of pop art to his opening of 'The Factor'.

Timothy Hunt illustrates this installment and does an amazing job. Hunt's' art style was so captivating and his art definitely further helped tell Warhol's story. I love collecting these books and am so thrilled to add this one to the rest of my collection.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

Well this series has recently taken a few turns towards honouring people I would in no way, shape or fashion think of as inspirational (Rupaul, FFS?!?!), so I guess it's only fair I look at this mid-point title, looking at someone else I usually find nothing generous to say about but have to admit was some kind of iconic figure. At least this taught me many things I didn't know about the man – I had no idea how his name-change came about before now, I didn't know about his childhood sicknesses and shyness. No, all I knew about was the insalubrious later years, the junkies, murderers and gay life-style, and that's not going to feature in a book for the primary school library now, is it? Visually, this didn't quite look like the Warhols I know (again, I'm no completist) but certainly had a Pop-py, distinctive style that was quite in keeping, and a lot better than some entrants to this burgeoning franchise. All told, for the lesson it gave, and for the hard work in making it all visually interesting and in keeping, I think this is four stars. I just wish a series like this, if it really has covered the ground of the David Attenboroughs, the Mary Annings, the Rosa Parkses, would just admit such and give up, rather than besmirching everything that gave them such credit before now.

Andy Warhol by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara is the latest addition to the Little People, BIG DREAMS series, which endeavours to inspire children of all ages. This time, we are given a glimpse into the life of Andy Warhol, a painfully shy child who spoke through his art, but eventually finding fame within a cultural movement. As with the previous books in this series, a more detailed biographical timeline of the artist's life is included. While I would not rank this one as a particular favourite from the collection, this book has all of the trademark relevance and charm that we have come to expect from the series and should not be missed.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children's Books for an ARC.

Andy Warhol is a great child-friendly biography for any young artist or creative! It tells the story of Warhol's rise to game using colorful and engaging illustrations paired with fresh facts about his life!

This very shy boy who was sidelined by illness at age eight grew to be a very special and different artist who developed a whole new ideas in commercial and advertising art. The illustrations are mostly simple and forthright with brilliant colors thanks to illustrator Timothy Hunt.
I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books via NetGalley. Thank you!

The ‘My First Little People, Big Dreams’ series provides informative and inspirational biographies about people who left a mark on this earth, no matter what difficulties they have encountered.
These stories are concise, but that’s because they’re books for children, so it’s totally understandable.
I think they are a brilliant and wonderful way to introduce little children to such important figures.
This little one here is about And Warhol, the great artist of Pop Art. His great talent consisted of transforming ordinary objects into masterpieces. It was fascinating reading about him, and I think his story could be of great inspiration for little children.

My words are limited to express the joy of reading this series. Andy warhol is the pioneer of pop art. His simple story to give art a new meaning can inspire young minds to find their own definition of art and life in general.

There's no shortage of biographical series for kids these days, and the "Little People, Big Dreams" books are one of the best! I love that reading g these with my son or the kids I tutor, I learn things I never knew about the person, too! I really liked the timeline at the end.

If you have older kids, don't write these off. While they're short and written for younger kids, older kids can use them as a jumping off point for further research on their own.

A simple introduction to Andy Warhol and his Pop Art. The illustration style is wonderful. I would have liked to see more simulations of Warhol's actual work though. I appreciate the timeline at the end.

Always a delight, this book will add to your classroom or kids library. The illustrations are wonderful and the story is told in a child appropriate fashion. Joyful.

Another great book from the Little People, BIG DREAMS series! I did not realize that Andy Warhol has passed away so long ago. As always, I have learned something new from this book.

Keep them coming because I want to keep learning.

Love the simple lessons that every reader, young and grown-ups, will learn from reading this children's book series. Just like in Andy Warhol's story, it highlights overcoming shyness and finding beauty in everyday objects. The illustrations in this book also mimic the pop art that Andy Warhol became famous with. Young readers would definitely love this book because of how colorful the illustrations and the inspiring story of Andy Warhol.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Andy Warhol is the latest addition to the Little People Big Dreams series by the amazing Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara.
In this biography for children, we learn about Andy Warhol from being a young boy to making it in the art world as a Pop art artist.
This book is bright and eye-catching and fun to read.
This series is so great for young children. It helps them learn about history, influential and inspirational people and to embrace who they are and go after what they dream.

I received an electronic ARC from Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books through NetGalley.
Sanchez Vegara never disappoints with this series. Her biographies for young readers offer just enough information to whet their interest and introduce them to a wide variety of people. In this volume, readers meet a young Andy Warhola before the "a" was dropped from his name. They see his interest in his own unique style then and see it continue to develop as he becomes an adult. The illustrations capture Warhol's style and offer readers a taste of his art.

I absolutely love this series. It is an excellent way to introduce a wide range of famous figures to younger children or as a starting point for older children. This book is a glorious riot of colour and stylised illustrations which are perfect for a book introducing to a new audience to the amazing work of Andy Warhol. This series is destined to become a real classic collection. As an educationalist I am always full of anticipation as to who will be the next focus.

Huge thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for a fabulous series and the chance to have a sneak preview and review these wonderful books.

This book was so aesthetically pleasing, and would be a great gift for stylish adults or artistic children. Though short, the book captured Andy Warhol’s style perfectly. This is a great introduction to art for young readers!

Another win for Little People Big Dreams. My daughter always loves learning about artists in this series. Andy Warhol's story is another well-written and well-illustrated book to delight any young reader!

The publisher made a copy of this book available for review via Netgalley. This is my honest opinion.

As a Warhol fan, I LOVED this book on Andy Warhol by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara! #AndyWarhol #NetGalley

Like many people I already heard of Andy Warhol, he’s a famous person after all.
But how he became famous and for what, was something I didn’t know. Until now.

The art is pretty simple, the book short, but all in all I think it holds all the important information you need for a basic knowledge.

In this book of the Little People Big Dreams series, we meet Andy Warhol. This book is a brief biography in simple language for children. It tells of Andy Warhol’s childhood illness and his interest in art. He took ordinary items and made extraordinary paintings from the inspiration.

As an educator, I would recommend this book for school or classroom library in elementary.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Oh my goodness, I ADORE this cute little book about Andy Warhol!

I have to admit I know next to nothing about Andy Warhol but his signature artistic style so I can't share if the inclusion of material is enough to make this a good mini bio. This little book, however, explains enough to young children how Andy Warhol rose to fame. The writing is so engaging and fun I actually laughed out few times. The cute illustrations help to make this book a happy and enjoyable read. Another well done addition to the Little People Big Dreams series. Love it!

I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I thought the illustrations in this book were perfect for the subject; they mirrored Andy Warhol's pop style well. Much like other books in this series, the story being told was simplified in such a way as to make it understandable for the target audience. However, similar to other books in this series, I think a small glossary would help. Art terms like "pop art" may not be readily understood by children, so an explanation would be helpful. However, as an introduction to popular figures, this book, and the series as a whole are great.

How cute! This was another great Little People,Big Dreams picture book. This one is a biography of artist Andy Warhol. Even I learned new things from this book! We meet young Andy, a shy, artistic boy living in Pennsylvania with his family. as a young adult, he moves to New York City where he finds his fame through pop art. This is a great story for kids who like art, or perhaps feel shy. It shows that shyness doesn't have to stop you from achieving your dreams.

I've read many of Vegara's books. This author must be a little demon workhorse to turn out so many of these ebooks. I believe there are like five dozen of them now, and I sure haven't read that many, but I have read quite a few. There has been only one, if I recall correctly, that I have not liked. This one was no exception to the likeability rule.

Andy Warhola, as he was originally, was the child of Slovakian immigrants who was shy and had an artistic leaning from an early age. He finished college and moved quickly to New York where he was able to find work as an illustrator, before he branched out into celebrating the mundane and became a world-famous artist, inspired by the soup cans from which he made his lunch each day.

This book tells a short, sweet, and nicely illustrated (by Hunt) story of his life and work and I commend it.

As always with books in the Little People, Big Dreams children's series, I loved the illustrations and colors used throughout the biographical story. They're so rich and vibrant, and I feel like they really tried to capture the pop art essence that Andy Warhol, or Andy Warhola, was so well-known for. Although the story flew by, it only encouraged me to do my own digging and research bits and pieces of Andy's life and impact as an artist. I think this would be a great book for children, especially those who have an eye for creativity. I wish this series existed when I was a youngster!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a copy of this ARC.

We use there books loads for our home educating and it was brilliant to be able to delve more into the mind of Andy Warhol.
The girls and I were really inspired and spent the day researching him and his art more.
Fabulous.

Andy Warhola was not born as an active child, he preferred drawing instead of playing with his siblings. He had health problem, which gave him the opportunity to create more from his sickbed. Then he didn't stop creating arts.

Always a good book to read from the series, with a motivational ideas for kids of all talents and all colors, active or not, strong or not, that these people were little before, but kept pursuing their dreams and they become big names.

Born to a couple from Slovakia, Andy Warhol spent most of his day drawing.
He won prizes and published his drawings in famous magazines.
Being a leading figure of pop Art, he made beautiful drawings of common objects, and was able to see beauty in everyday life.

This book is an illustrated memoir of the very famous artist

Thanks to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group for sending a review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I love this series, Little People, Big Dreams. I did not know Andy Warhol had an illness that kept him bedridden as a child. This starts his love of celebrities since he reads magazines and makes collèges. When he becomes an adult he leaves for NYC, and is especially interested in art using everyday objects. His most famous was the Campbell Soup Picture. A debate started whether this was art, and he was the leader of what came to be known as Pop Art.

This is another example for children of a child he was born shy, sick, and different who goes on to live an extraordinary life. This book belongs in all schools and libraries, so that children are aware of all the differences amoung people and that can lead to a wonderful life.

Thank you NetGalley, Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara, and Frances Lincoln Children’s Books for an ARC of this book. As always, I loved this book from the series and highly recommend it.

Andy Warhol by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara is another addition to the Little People, Big Dreams series by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara. I enjoyed this story but not quite as much as some of the others as I didn't like Andy's true lifestyle that much. It was interesting to learn that his name was actually Andy Worhola. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my ARC.

Andy Warhol by @mariaisabelsanchezvegara

Now we all know the famous Andy Warhol, the king of Pop-art. How a shy boy turned a man like these. The author beautifully explained illustrated work spoke louder than 200-300 pages book.

Art is for all of us. Never doubt in your creativity. Just like Andy turned explicit art out of ordinary thing... The can tomato soup and what.

It's a children book but we adults can also gain knowledge reading this so try this out. I loved it. I hope people out there also going to love it and those into pop culture or pop art or artsy.

This little extraordinary fun read made my night. Glad I requested and thankful they accepted.
