What do you get when you combine animals, alliteration and art? If that sounds like the makings of a good children’s book, you’d be right on track for “If Picasso Went to the Zoo.”
The book, written by Eric Gibbons, features the work of 50 art teachers, including Bakersfield High School ceramics instructor Yvonne Cavanagh. The author’s last book, “If Picasso Had a Christmas Tree,” employed a similar design with work from 30 art teachers.
