The artist Henri Matisse is interviewed by a little bird named Puffer who humorously gives descriptive explanations about Matisse's work while actual examples are shown. Characters in the book pose open-ended questions that prompt readers of all ages to make their own critical analyses and interpretations of the works of art. 32 pages, 10 x 9 .
