This book was about one of Tomie's life experiences in kindergarten and how he was kind of held back from his creativity and full potential in his art class. It was easy to pick up that this book was about his life after reading up and researching his life and also reading other books by himself. I thought it was funny though that the character Tommy in the book is spelled differently than his real spelling of his name. I don't know why he would do that and I couldn't find any explanation on it, I just thought that was kind of weird. His writing is so entertaining and comical at times. It just makes me feel good inside because all of his books end so well. He has so much talent. I think it is awesome. I like when books have the same author and illustrator because it really is their own book and they got to put on paper how they imagined the work to be. His pictures are very cute and very recognizable, all of his characters have very interesting characteristics and are like that through all of his illustrations in all of his books. This book reminded me a lot of my Art Methods class in how you shouldn't restrict a child's creativity because you never know what your students potential could be if you challenge them and let them do their own work. A lot of students can be really excited about some part of school and if the lesson doesn't meet their dreams and expectations, their excitement can be shattered and really turned around.
