From Publishers Weekly
Two board books by Julie Merberg and Suzanne Bober introduce the works of world-renowned artists to the youngest audience. In each, lyrical text accompanies 10 masterpieces. A Magical Day with Matisse, for example, features his famous ring of dancers in Dance II ("Let's dance and fly, hold hands and sing, and spin round and round in a rosie ring"). In the Garden with Van Gogh includes Sunflowers, Irises and The Starry Night. Back matter contains a list of the paintings and the museums in which they appear. (May)

A wonderful book,

This review is from: A Magical Day with Matisse (Mini Masters) (Board book)
This is a great book to introduce children to the paintings of Henri Matisse. Best of all the rhyming text captures a childs attention and helps with language development. As an art teacher and a soon to be mother, this book is on the top of my list.

Incredible Introduction to Art,

This review is from: A Magical Day with Matisse (Mini Masters) (Board book)
My daughter is 17 months old and loves this series of books. The artwork is representative of the original work and the words do a great job of telling a story for each picture in a descriptive way without "squashing creativity" for the reader.
One minor concern, if you have any objection to nudity, there are pictures of representational nudes in the Matisse book that are indicative of his work. My husband and I discussed it and introduced it to our daughter who didn't seem to care at all. She just loved the "people dancing."

Delightful,
By Yokosuka Stripes (NY, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Magical Day with Matisse (Mini Masters) (Board book)
Although my rough and tumble 12-month-old loved to be read to, I wasn't sure this one would keep him interested at such a young age. Six months later, it is still one of his favorites, and he insists that I read it to him every morning.
Of course, as a parent, I'm pleased that A Magical Day entices toddlers to take an interest in art, and to a certain degree language. While the poems aren't masterpieces, light and airy, they suffice in their simplicity as an accompaniment to the paintings. Reading them out loud day after day doesn't seem to get dull either for my son or for me. I'm looking forward to trying others in the series.
