The Magical Life of Mr. Renny by Leo Timmers

Timmers, Leo. The Magical Life of Mr. Renny. Minneapolis: Gecko Press USA, 2012. 32p.  

Mr. Renny, a canine artist, paints beautiful pictures that no one wants to buy at first. A stranger soon appears at his art stand, telling Mr. Renny that he can make the paintings come to life. Mr. Renny excitedly starts painting every material object he has ever wanted and watches each painting come alive. Eventually, a friend asks to buy a painting to appreciate the art and Mr. Renny must decide whether or not to give up the magic. An interesting book to generate discussions about the value of art and/ or the true road to happiness.
