Customer Reviews

This series of books is awesome

A wonderful addition to the home school library. Great way to expand the childs experience. Highly recommend A+++

great touch and feel art book!

We love this book! Brush Mona Lisa's hair has works of art that remind me of an art history class I took in college, but with touch and feel! My daughters (3 yrs old and 18 months old) love books so we have alot of them, and this one is a winner! This book includes: Mona Lisa- Leonardo Da Vinci Price Balthasar Carlos on Horseback- Diego Velazquez The Birth of Venus- Sandro Botticelli The Laughing Cavalier- Frans Hals The Arnolfini Portrait- Jan van Eyck Portraits of Federico da Montefeltro and Battista Sforza and Their Triumph- Piero della Francesca Girl with a Peal Earring- Johannes Vermeer The Card Sharp- Georges de la Tour Sistine Madonna- Raphael At the end of the book the authors have included a short paragraph about each work of art and the artist who created it. As with all the books in this series, the art is the star of the book- the words are secondary, and that's fine in this case. The "story line" in this book isn't amazing, and while that would usually annoy me, it doesn't matter much since the touch and feel famous works of art concept is so fantastic! Its a book I love looking at as well as my kids!

Wonderful for art lovers and their children

A lovely book from a lovely series of four--my favorites are this one and "Make Van Gogh's Bed." If you are an art lover and want your child to share your enjoyment, this is a great way to pass on some culture in a fun and low-pressure way. They will recognize the art works just because they have seen them in a book, and you will enjoy reading these books again and again. Wish there were more.

My Three Year Old Loves this Book

My three year old loves this and the other books by this author. This is the book she wants to read and interact with. The books are great and the colors and layout very appealing to children. Highly recommedned.

Visually and tactilely appealing - great introduction to master works of art

I gave this as a present and was pleased to see how my nephew interacted with it. He loved to "touch the art" and I like to look at great works of art; in other words it was fun for both of us. The book features iconic works of art with the vital stats on the paintings - so it's a good art history intro/refresher for adults while being a fun introduction to great art for kids.
