Summary: A total disappointment
Review: I have ordered around 100 products ...and I have never been as disappointed as I was with this book and with The Art of Shapes. I bought them for a three year old child thinking that he would start getting acquainted with famous works of arts from all over the world. With a few exceptions the artists selected are completely unknown. There are millions of famous beautiful European and American masterpieces that would have been more suitable for a child. ...

Summary: What I did not figure on was how much I would LOVE it.
Review: I read about this book in a parenting magazine and thought that my baby daughter would enjoy it. My husband is an artist, so I thought that it would be a great book to teach her about art in a fun way. What I did not figure on was how much I would LOVE it. This book shows an artist's work in a specific color. It tells the artist's name and a brief description of their work. On the facing page, it tells the color, then translates the word into 3 other languages. It is short so it keeps my daughter's interest and she is facinated by the color. My husband and I have enjoyed talking about the art on the pages. Forget about the child wanting to look at the same book over and over again -- with this one, it is ME who wants to. I am buying the other two books in the series today.

Summary: A total delight
Review: The great thing about this books is that I TOTALLY disagree with the reviewer ...The author has selected new and emerging artists instead of the tried and true. As a parent I enjoyed learning about new artists instead of sitting throught Intro to Art History again. My child has benefited from from learning her colors and being exposed to new artists.
