Paintbrush in Paris: The Artistic Adventures of an American Cat in Paris

by Jill Butler

As an artist, a cat has no home in the world save Paris. (To paraphrase Nietzsche.) Here is the story of Paintbrush, the cat in a bow tie who leaves family, friends, and the Midwest behind to chase a dream of artistic fulfillment. Engagingly illustrated throughout with bright, cheerful watercolors and written in a charming style to match, Paintbrish in Paris is the first book by Jill Butler, a designer and collagist. In it she follows Paintbrush from his first excursions beyond his atelier to the invitation to show his work.

[Jessie Clark · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very cute book, the artwork is adorable, and it's a cute way to help one who's learning french (there are a lot of french words and customs explained throughout as Mr. Paintbrush develops and learns in his time there). Mostly just a cute book that explains french culture from a foreigners view point. And again I adore any unique artwork.
