An explosion of color! "I Ain't Gonna Paint No More!" by Karen Beaumont is a hilarious, colorful story about one very independent thinking young artist who cannot resist painting everything inside the house until Mom tells him, "Ya ain't gonna paint no more!" The budding young artist can't resist and happily covers himself from head to toe with beautiful bold patterns bright with color. Even the family dog is on the receiving end of this paint brush. Sing this story to "It Ain't Gonna Rain No More, No More."
Reviews:
Publishers Weekly states, " Given the plot's premise, Catrow's humorously hyperbolic art fittingly takes center stage here, growing increasingly flamboyant and electric as the boy embellishes more an more of his anatomy - and his playful pooch becomes equally well decorated."

Kirkus Reviews: "... the text leads its protagonist from initial misdeed to his mother's injunction against painting to a clandestine orgy of self-decoration, body part by body part ..."
