Pop Warhol's Top

by Julie Appel and Amy Guglielmo

Book Overview

It's pop, with a twist --a fun collection of works by such 20th century masters as Warhol, Lichtenstein, and Hockney that turns the art world into a fingertip sensation. What could be better than pulling on the lettuce in Claes Oldenburg's Two Burgers with Everything? Or stroking the fluffy eyelashes on Warhol's pink-toned Marilyn? It's an experience kids will never forget.

This is a fantastic way for children to learn about famous artwork in a fun and stimulating way! Each page has a piece of artwork and a fun way to learn about it.

This series iof books is awesome

Excellent addition to the home school library. Expands knowledge of art in a wonderful way. Kids love to touch and this is a wonderful way to learn. A+++

great touch and feel art book!

This is a great concept! Famous works of art are made more approachable by use of touch and feel! We love all the books in this series. My two girls are 3 yrs old and 18 months old and they both love touching this book! This book includes: Campbell's Soup Can- Andy Warhol Untitled- Keith Haring (red, blue and green figures dancing) Girl with Ball- Roy Lichtenstein Two Cheeseburgers with Everything- Claes Oldenburg The Woodcut Bathrobe- Jim Dine Cakes- Wayne Thiebaud Marilyn- Andy Warhol Love, Indiana Stable May 66- Robert Indiana Mustard on White- Roy Lichtenstein At the end of the book the authors have included a short paragraph about each work of art and the artist who created it, which is great for me since I never knew much about modern art. As with all the books in this series, the artwork is the main event- don't buy these books for the great literary prose- you'll be disappointed there. But the great art really makes up for it! You will be so engrossed by the artwork and the touch and feel that the lack of creative prose wont bother you! These books are great for kids and their parents! The famous works of art make touch and feel books more interesting for the parents, and the fun tactile elements make art education books more fun for the kids!

love it.

It's interactive and fun :) My 3 1/2 yr old follows right along and it's the perfect length for a quick bedtime read with a catalog of the work in the back for more in-depth conversations about the artists. My favorite kid-art book to date.

Unusual Use

I bought all of the books in this series for my nine-year-old son who is autistic. His skill set and sensory issues are all over the place, so it is nice to find a series of books with lots of tactile opportunities and simple reading but that are more sophisticated than the usual "touch and feel" board books for babies.
