Customer Reviews

Great series

I love the Mini Masters series, though this wasn't one of the best. There were only seven paintings included in the book, so there wasn't as much of a cohesive story as some of the other books. I felt like the end came suddenly and would have liked some more. To be fair, Seurat died in his 30s and so the authors would have had a lot less artwork to choose from. If you are collecting this series, this is a must. But if you are a first time purchaser, I would recommend the authors' books on Cassatt, Monet or Matisse.

My 6 month old daughter loves this book!

My 6 month old enjoys turning the pages on her own and looking at the pictures in this book. We can sit her on the floor and she'll spend 15 minutes studying the pictures as she turns the pages. I like the book because it exposes her to art, and because it's got a cute story and rhyme to it. I plan on buying more books from this series.

Sunday with Seurat

I am a preschool teacher for 3 year olds. We "study" different artists and paint like them. Seurat is one of the artists that I teach my students about and they paint like him using bingo bottles. This book is excellent for the three year olds. It shows many of Seurat's paintings without a lot of words. The children love looking at it and love listening to me read the book! It is a perfect book for introducing art and artists to young children!

Art for toddlers!

I love the fact that these books exist! My daughter is one and is mesmerized by these books. She sits down with them and just looks at them, intently. I love that I can share art with my toddler in a safe and fun way. Otherwise, I'd risk my expensive art books at her little hands. I highly recommend these books, even if you're not a big art fan. The colors alone are great for toddlers!!
