There are 19 paintings from the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that list things to look for in the painting. This is a neat way to incorporate art with your child while playing. My kids love the "I Spy" books and this is no different. There is a wide range of artwork from ancient Egyptian up to modern day. I only wish the book were longer with more paintings included.

this book is very interesting to my son and is encouraging a new interest in art. this is the first time he has sat poring over works of art!

the cover picture isn't quite representative of the paintings inside - a big range of art styles from egyptian to tudor to indian and flemish. there are suggestions to ask a child to find, but they are way too advanced for my son so i make it a whole lot simpler. i hope they are ones he can find as he learns to read. i'm sure to someone more into art, there are familiar faces, but to me the paintings were all new. i might have liked a few more 'famous' ones, but on the whole an engaging book.

My 24-year old son loved Where's Waldo as a child. I thought "Can You Find It?" might be an interesting advance on the same concept. The gift was much appreciated. He liked the selection of paintings and finding things within the art work, plus the education aspect made fun. Poured over it after pouring a cup of coffee each morning during his Christmas visit. Waldo a distant (but fond!) memory.
