“An artist is someone who produces things that people don’t need
to have but that he — for some reason — thinks it would be a good
idea to give them.” ~Andy Warhol
A good way to spend 15 famous minutes this week:
1) Eating tomato soup (voted favorite soup by writers in last week’s highly scientific survey).
2) Reading this fabulous picture book:
UNCLE ANDY’S: A FAABBBULOUS VISIT WITH ANDY WARHOL
by James Warhola (Penguin, 2005), ages 4-8
Jama's Alphabet Soup 
I’ve read that book, and it was pretty good. It provided an interesting view of Warhol, especially since he seemed so singular that it’s interesting to see how he fit (or not) into his family. I remember thinking that the book was better for adults who knew who Warhol was than it was for kids, who would (most of them) have no clue.

Yes, I see your point. The appeal to kids would be more the story of an eccentric uncle (not necessarily a famous one),and how art is created from everyday things. The 25 cats named “Sam” are a lot of fun, too!
