Read Alouds--The Apprentice

Our last book was a great one.  It was about a young man who wanted to become a great painter.  Caleb loved it from page one.  The Apprentice by Pilar Molina Llorente, is a great read.  It is short, but very interesting.  The young boy who lives with his father, a tailor, longs to become a painter.  His father gives in and sends him to become the apprentice to a famous artist in the city.  He is ill treated and not taught anything, until he discovers what is behind the locked door at the top of the stairs.  Get this one at the library and enjoy it with your kids.
