Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This is a wonderful book that will enrich any adult or child. Many children's books have lovely illustrations, but this one uses colorful and well-reproduced landscapes created by famous artists on one page, along with brief texts about the artist and picture on the next. Thoughtful questions are posed to help create awareness and understanding of a situation, and to help youngsters probe the paintings in-depth. This is an unusual book in that it can be enjoyed by the very young and their parents, or employed as an exceptional teaching tool by art teachers. Although the volume is slim, it can be experienced again and again. This will be a worthwhile addition to any public library.

You've heard the saying before but this book "helps art come alive." My two sons, ages 6 and 4, were enthralled by the artwork. The secret to this book is on the back page, where author Gladys Blizzard offers these simple, yet essential directions:
Look at all the paintings again.
Choose the one that has your favorite colors.
Choose the one that makes you feel happiest.
Choose the one that makes you feel most frightened.
Choose the one you would most like to hike in.
Choose the one you would most like to bike in.
Choose the one you would most like to live in.
On another day, do this again. What you see, think, and feel may be different.
And then keep looking!

This is our first experience with the "Come Look With Me" series of books. We fully intend to delve deeper and check out Come Look with Me: Enjoying Art with Children and Come Look With Me: Animals in Art.
As a final note, it was "Day and Night" by M.C. Escher and "The Oregon Trail" by Albert Bierstadt that interested my boys most.

This is an easy way to teach art appreciation to children, even very young ones, and you can follow up with a trip to an art museum.

I am a docent at an art museum and the goal is to get children develop a love of art. This book is exactly what will assist a child to enjoy art.

Forget about paying for the gift wrap
The book is good, but the presenttion by Amazon was appalling for a child's gift! I felt compelled to rewrap it even thought I had paid for it. Read more
