I find this book a very nice way to introduce my elementary art classes to the element of shape in art. The pictures and presentation are clear and it gives a nice overview of what a museum might include for those that have not visited one. Students enjoy the pictures over and over.

This book is perfect for use in my art room...lots of colorful pages that will keep the students' attention! Great vendor, too - shipped on time with an accurate description of the book! Thank you.

This is a wonderful book for all ages. We have read it since my daughter was less than a year old. Very good quality and interesting images.

This book is beautifully done, I loved looking at the pictures and wanted to offer a different perspective of shapes in the world. Unfortunately it does not hold my 3 year old sons interest. I think the book is worth it though and will try again when he is older.

Absolutely lovely book that children will love to ponder and enjoy. It helps children truly learn how to find shapes outside the usual textbook form and also encourages finding shapes in the environment. My only complaint is that the oval depicted in the book is an ellipse. An ellipse always has two axes of reflection; an oval has one or more. So, an egg-shape is an oval, but not an ellipse.

I got this book for my 3 1/2 year old daughter, who loves art. The book is great, but there was black marker or ink on the outside cover and pages. Not a huge problem, but if you have a 3 year old, they notice those imperfections and it drives them crazy. It was a 'bargain book' so I guess I get what I paid for. Other than that, it's a great way to expose children to art, composition, and details. Not the typical 'children's shape book'.
