A fun book for kids and adults to do together

My sons (age 4 and 8) and I adore these books - I only wish they made more in the series. The books are simply laid out enough that a young kid could do the book by himself....if he has reading skills. Although I don't recall a beheading mentioned in the other review, smaller kids who can't read would need an adult to help them. In addition to being fun to search through, these books expose kids to a wide range of artistic periods - from both the East and the West. The books are also a good present for a 6th or 7th birthday - who needs another toy clogging up the toy box?

"I Spy" taken to a whole new level

The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that I would have loved to see more famous works of art in the book, but I realized that since it comes from "The Metropolitan Museum of Art", they may not have those. It's a great way to remember art pieces. It's a fun way to study them as well. As for violence in some of the paintings, I did not see anything even remotely as gruesome as some images our children are exposed to on the news or even in cartoons nowadays. There is no reason to shut them off exposure to great art pieces because there is a battle scene in one of them. Thre is an answer key at the end of the book, with items highlighed. I really appreciated that feature, having spent 3 days searching for an item in one of "I Spy" books. Those don't have answer key. In the same answer key, there is a short description of each painting, short background of the artwork. I found it very helpful as well.
