Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grades 3-7--A lively introduction to the life and work of the Dutch artist. The large size, varied page layouts, and beautiful reproductions result in an appealing book. Additionally, there are a number of interesting design elements such as the mock newspaper format used to convey the historical context of Rembrandt's time and a background map behind the discussion of distances and Holland's geography. Questions that encourage readers to stop and look more closely at certain paintings are interspersed with the narrative. Unfortunately, on several occasions they are placed on the following page, and it is cumbersome to look back. Activities are marked with a handprint when interspersed with the text and there are additional "Get busy" spreads. Though some projects are clear, others are too vague ("Ask someone to sit on a chair for you. Take a good look at their eyes, nose and mouth. See if you can draw them"). A few activities encourage writing in the book. This title is not intended for research but rather for providing an engaging introduction to Rembrandt, which it does quite successfully.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, December 23, 2011
This review is from: See and Do Children's Book: Rembrandt (See and Do Children's Books) (Hardcover)
Giant picture book biography; engaging for young people. This is great as a read-aloud -- there are giant photographs of Rembrandt's work, with exploratory questions printed for children to think about. Great for art lovers of any age. Includes some activities for children to try. We did the etching/shading project and the playing with color tinting project; we especially liked the two-page spread of Rembrandt self-portraits at almost every age!
