Katie goes to the museum with her grandmother and before she knows it she is in the paintings and the world of the painters and their families.

What I enjoy about this book is that it brings the paintings to life for readers and it shares the back story in a way that children can connect to and imagine the possibilities when they go to museums! Of all these books this one held my son’s attention the least. I like to think it’s because he’s not a fan of impressionism, but I think it was simply a little long for his not quite 3 year old attention span. Maybe if Renoir had painted garbage trucks. My son enjoyed it and asked to read it again after we were done. I like that books likes all these bring art into little hands for them to explore. Can You Find It?: Search and Discover More Than 1.

Luckily there is an answer key . This is a great book for plane rides, road trips and waiting for dinner at a restaurant with a school age kid. You can start and stop and it’s complex enough that the next day you might just forget and be able to start all over again. If it does just shelve it until they are ready. Museum ABC by the Metropolitan Museum Of Art is a book that was first loved at our house because of the . I loved it because for each letter there are 4 usually very cropped pieces of paintings, showing only that part that fits the subject of each letter. In my nerdy love of identifying paintings I play a game with myself trying to figure out which are which as my son is identifying the letter, and finding the subject matter in each. The book is so beautiful, it. A wonderful concept and a great intro to art books for even the tiniest patrons. Museum 1. 23 by The Metropolitan Museum Of Art is another simple but beautiful counting book. Instead a simple question of how many is followed by a painting with the objects, and the next page has a large number. My son loved counting then flipping the page exclaiming ! Picasso by Mil Niepold and Jeanyves Verdu is a book that looks at Picasso’s sculptures from different perspective for consecutive pages before revealing the full piece of art. I love Picasso but this book did nothing to excite me and I couldn’t even get my kids to flip through it with me. I don’t think it’s a bad book it just didn’t appeal to us. Artful Reading by Bib Raczka is a perfect combination of promoting an appreciation of art and a love of reading. The concept is simple with each page showcasing a painting of someone reading . What I love so much is that while the text suggests what type of reading the painting is showing it. Both times my son and I rad this book we discussed what the people were reading and which we liked the best. I love books like this. Here. This is a book for children older than my son who is 4 but I still showed him every painting ( all self portraits) and read highlights of the text which I found fascinating and can. I read a lot of art history books for fun and I learned a few things reading this. What I think is so genius about this book is that it focuses kids?

I was turning the pages too fast for my son I was so excited to see what was next while he wanted to look at the art. I loved the page where he comes to a Monet , you see the little guy from behind and he is very small and despite not seeing his face you can imagine his face frozen with wonder. Well Done! SQUEAKING OF ART, The Mice Go to the Museum by Monica Wellington is a fun book to read before and even more fun to read after a visit to a museum. This book follows a group of mice that all explore the museum, and the art on it’s walls. Each page is a different theme and the text is a dialogue between the mice and their Cat guide about the art displayed. The art itself are the author illustrator’s versions of art you will probably recognize. There are multiple paintings on each page and if you are like me and like to quiz yourself on your ability to name the painting and artist this book is for you. There is a guide at the end of the book for every page. I think I like this book even more than my son for that reason. My son likes it because he can recognize some paintings, but thy are redone in bright vibrant colors and have a more cartoon look, which I think appeals to my son even more than the originals. When we “read” this book we often skip the text and simple look and explore the art. No matter how you read it this is a fine addition to any library for those who love fine art. Just Behave, Pablo Picasso! The books gives the reader a little look into Picasso’s early life but really it’s about his evolution from realism to cubism and the resistance he got from just about everyone. I love how it painted Picasso as a brave individual who took the leap from doing what everyone loved to doing what he needed to do as an artist. It’s about being true to yourself and not selling out. It also really hammers home the ideas that people even adults can grow and change. This helps explain that being a grown up doesn’t mean all your choices have already been chosen .
