Boy Who Loved to Draw: Benjamin West by Barbara Brenner, ISBN 0618310894
When Benjamin was seven years old, the only thing in the world he wanted to do was draw pictures. Sometimes it got him into trouble--when he "borrowed" Papa"s best quill pen, when he drew the cows instead of milking them for Mama, when he used the cat"s fur for brushes--but it also led him to some surprising adventures. Here, in lively words and vivid pictures, is the engaging true story of Benjamin West, the farm boy from colonial Pennsylvania who grew up to become the first world-famous American artist.
