I need to flesh out this section of my book shelves. Any great picture books that would appeal to elementary boys? Big picture or specific artists/genres are fine, but preferably narrative format only. The kids don't really pick up encyclopedic type books on their own.

ART
- "Katie" series (James Mayhew)
- Anholt's Artists Books for Children series (Laurence Anholt)
- Smart About Art series -- various authors
- Getting to Know the World's Great Artists series (Venezia)
- Natalie Goes to the Museum (Cohen)
- The Story of Paintings (Manning)
- Looking at Pictures (Richardson) -- this one is cool because it includes a "behind the scenes" at the art museum as well

DANCE
- The Illustrated Book of Ballet Stories (Newman)
- A Children's Introduction to Ballet (Lee)
- New York City Ballet -- picture books telling the story of individual ballets (Swan Lake, Nutcracker...)
