Format:Hardcover
I work with children and particularly enjoy introducing them to fine art. This is one of the best books I have found on the subject. Quirky, likeable illustrations by the inimitable Lauren Child combine with reproductions of famous artworks. A large range of styles and time periods are represented, and the language used is spot on. Quite a lot of text, so probably most suitable for ages from 5 upwards. This is simply a brilliant tool for stimulating interest in art and encouraging thinking skills, too.

I bought this for my grandson who is football mad, and we read it at bedtime with enormous pleasure and many, many repeats. He was 4 1/2 when we first tried it, and there was no "hard sell", just shared delight. the illustrations are clear and compelling; the links are just the right length to keep interest, yet give information; and that varies from picture to picture, with enough action to make it terrific fun for both of us! Oh and I should say he is now 6 and loves the book just as much!
Format:Hardcover

a change at bed time.
