Media reviews

Praise for the Master's Apprentice:
“The Master’s Apprentice is an enjoyable book. Readers will be interested to gain some insight into what it might have been like to serve as an apprentice to one of the most esteemed artists the world has known. Recommended.” — Canadian Review of Materials

Praise for The Mona Lisa Caper:
“… Jacobson’s dense text brims with suspenseful details … and
[the] beautifully drafted watercolors convey a sense of excitement. Jacobson … delights in the events [of his story], and readers will, too.” — Publishers Weekly

Praise for Picasso:
“Those who want to know more about Picasso, Cubism or both need only turn to Picasso.” — San Francisco Chronicle

“Written in simple, clear language, it effortlessly leads readers through the life of the artist. This eloquent tribute will serve as an introduction to Picasso and to an artist’s inspirations.” — School Library Journal
