Review quotes

"Fresh, spirited, and unconventional."—Kirkus Reviews

"A lively, entertaining presentation."—Booklist

"Kids will enjoy this brush with greatness."—Bulletin

"Krull's brief biographies provide basic facts as well as intriguing details. The subjects chosen range from the famous (Michelangelo Buonarroti) to the infamous (Andy Warhol) to the less well known. Hewitt's caricaturelike illustrations reflect and extend the lively text."—Horn Book
