    I was slightly reluctant at first to purchase this book – I thought it might not be one of our son’s favorites at bedtime (4 1/2 years old). (He’s your typical boy – loves books about cars, tractors, dump trucks, etc) Boy, was I wrong! The first night we sat down to read it, we both had a blast! This book does such a nice job of explaining art to children, in terms that he understands, that he was excited about reading it the next night. We went through the book the first time just flipping pages to look at the artwork, and stopping to read the details of the ones he found interesting at first. It was fun for me as a parent to learn what he finds interesting in art. I would recommend this book 100%!

    Fabulous!!, January 18, 2006

    This review is from: The Art Book for Children (Hardcover)
    I bought this book for my grandchildren, a boy and a girl ages 2 1/2 and 5. Not only are they thrilled with it, their parents are enchanted. This book should be read by everyone! It’s a marvelous primer and guide to the world of art, with pictures of some of the world’s most famous art treasures and amazingly interesting explanations of why these particular pieces have endured. If you want your children or grandchildren to learn about what makes art relevant, this is the book for them! It should be sold in every art museum in the world.

    My grandchildren have several other books about art, but none is as erudite and entertaining as this. Trust me, your children will learn some wonderful stuff . . . and so will you. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Fabulous!

    Great Introduction to Art for Kids, October 10, 2006

    This review is from: The Art Book for Children (Hardcover)
    I purchased this book for my kids who were 6 and 10 at the time. I was pleasantly surprised by the scope and variety of art covered in this book. Several well-chosen (nothing gory or disturbing to children) pieces of art are presented in nice, full color reproductions. The authors then point out various interesting things about the piece and ask fun questions about it. All of this serves to help children not just “look” at art, but to enjoy it and appreciate it.

    I heartily recommend this book for anyone who wants to dabble in art appreciation – not just children. It is so easy to read and thumb through that neither kids nor adults will realize they are learning about art. For those over 16 or so who want to take the next step, “The Art Book” is a great follow-up that features many, many more works with more scholarly comments on each.
