Art history with a twist! Here’s a fun way to introduce young children to great works of art and the people who painted them, without saying, “Don’t touch!” Each durable board book in the series gives kids the chance to lift, pull, stroke, tug, and snap their way through art history. The final pages of each book include a date, location, and description of each painting, along with biographical information on each artist. Ages 3–6. Authors — Julie Appel and Amy Guglielmo. Hardcover. 7" × 9" (18 cm × 23 cm). Brush Mona Lisa’s Hair — Features the work of Renaissance artists. Kids can touch the large, lacy collar of Fran Hals’ The Laughing Cavalier, pet the horse’s tail in Velasquez’s Prince Baltasar Carlos on Horseback, and arrange the snapply elastic hair in Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus. Other paintings by Vermeer, de la Tour, Raphael, and van Eyck are featured. Feed Matisse’s Fish — In this book, modern art comes to life in paintings by Edward Hopper, Frida Kahlo, and Marc Chagall, among others. Kids can feel the scales of Matisse’s fish, scratch their nails on Jacob Lawrence’s Chalkboard, and trace the bumpy basket weave of Diego Rivera’s Flower Carrier. Make Van Gogh’s Bed — Features the work of popular 19th century Impressionists in a lively rhyming scheme. Kids can touch the flowers in Monet’s The Water Lily Pond: Green Harmony, pull on the tulle tutu of Degas’ Prima Ballerina, or touch the gauzy netting over Berthe Morisot’s The Cradle. Pop Warhol’s Top — It’s Pop Art with a twist! A fun collection of works by such 20th century masters as Warhol, Lichtenstein, and Hockney. Kids can pull on the lettuce in Claes Oldenburg’s Two Burgers With Everything? or stroke the fluffy eyelashes on Warhol’s pink-toned painting of Marilyn Monroe. |
