5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to art interpretation, 2 Sep 2003
By J. Dawson (Edinburgh, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Dan's Angel (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars art detective with a light touch and a sure eye!, 20 May 2008
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!
