With a simple, rhyming text and beautifully reproduced paintings, NO ONE SAW explores modern art. Each painting highlights the way in which the artist looked at the world in his or her own way. One look at the oversized details of her calla lilies convinces us hat no one saw flowers like Georgia O'Keeffe. A city becomes art when looked at by Kandinsky. And Miro shows us the flight of a bird like we've never seen it before. The message is a clear one: no two people see the world in exactly the same way. There is beauty waiting to be seen and shared by you, so be creative and, more important, be yourself!

Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Ages 4-8. Illustrated with famous twentieth-century works by such artists as Georgia O'Keefe, Rene Magritte, and Grant Wood, this singsong poem gets to the heart of what artists do: create unique perspectives of the world. Next to each masterpiece, a line from the book's poem invites children to look closely at the artist's version of everyday images in the painting: "No one saw stars like Vincent van Gogh"; "No one saw people like Joan Miro." With a few exceptions, the reproductions are clear, and the lines scan well. The spare design and minimal words put the emphasis on the art, offering children a chance to enjoy and become familiar with the images, without didactic text. Best, though, is the inspiring conclusion, reminding children that they, too, have unique ideas to share: "Artists express their own point of view. And nobody sees the world like you."

Introduce Your Kids to Art - Great Book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: No One Saw...Ordinary Things (Library Binding)
As a mom of a preschooler (and baby), I'm always looking for ways to expose my 3-year-old son to great art without boring him, and this book is perfect! I've bought other art-related kids books, and they were not captivating like this one is. The text has gentle rhyme, and my son really got into the different paintings. The "Biographical Notes" section has more information on the artists if you've forgotten your college Art History (like me!), and my son found it interesting, too. I really liked the message at the end of the book, "...And nobody sees the world like you." I plan on making this book my new gift for everyone -- for new babies, for my son's friends' birthday gifts, holidays, etc. It would be great for kids of all ages, really. You will love this book!

Teaches people to notice........,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: No One Saw (Paperback)
No One Saw is great for all age children. It answers the question "What did this artist notice?" This book teaches that people don't all see the same way or notice the same things. It inspires one to look carefully and notice details when observing, and incorporate them into art work.
5.0 out of 5 stars
