5.0 out of 5 stars A book guaranteed to fascinate all ages, January 22, 2001

By	"susanandrews" (New Haven, CT) - See all my reviews

This charming book is presented as a children's book, but is suitable for all ages. The large, beautiful illustrations and reproductions coupled with the whimsical text make this imaginative book a delight to look at and read. Small children will appreciate the bright colors of the artworks, and the parents will appreciate the inventive way the author introduces an artist to children - without pretension or difficulty. Any parent wishing to raise culturally educated children should buy this book today! (PS: I say this with experience, both my 3 year old and my 10 year old love this book, but for very different reasons -- and I even catch my husband flipping through it at times)

5.0 out of 5 stars Book with many ways of teaching art, February 22, 2007

By	Ginger H. Bosshardt "threegirlsmom" (Beryl, UT) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are in early education this book is great for children to see line and patterns. Paul Klee is know for his childlike artwork and it gives children ideas of what to look for in his paintings. The history of his life is also very interesting and that is on the last 2 pages.
