Customer Reviews

My 1st Graders loved it!

I can't say this about many art history books: most of them are either dopey and cute or way over their heads. They loved this one, and so did I! I has lots of interesting details about Bruegel and his time. Lots of good reproductions. The man in the red hat hook works pretty well. I read it to them, but they've been re-reading it to themselves for the past few weeks. Highly recommended!
