I Ain't Gonna Paint No More by Karen Beaumont

Get ready for crazy.

I Ain't Gonna Paint No More takes on the cadence of the old song "Ain't gonna rain no more, no more" and throws propriety out the window as a child paints himself, part by part. When he gets some red to paint his head, you know he's not holding to the promise he gave to his mama that he would not paint anymore.

Illustrator David Catrow, with his distinctive, chaotic style, was the perfect choice to give life to this lively tale. Children with a good sense of humor will enjoy each new page of body painting madness--and adults will hope that their children know better than to try it for themselves.
