This book features works by many well known artists. In addition to finding the differences between the pictures, the book offers interesting facts about the artists and paintings. It is a decent book for children (maybe grades 3-6), especially those who are interested in art. However, as far a "find the differences" type book, I think it is a little costly. This book only contains 25 puzzles; many others, such as Life's Picture Puzzles (aimed more at adults), contain 2-3 times the number of puzzles and can actually cost less with Amazon's discount.

My daughter is enjoying this immensely. We do it as a bedtime activity. I read the captions about the author and then we look for the differences. She is only 6 but really enjoys it already. It is a good introduction to various artists and art periods. It is even a good stepping stone to explore what people wore, ate, or played with in other time periods. We are about to purchase the second one because we have enjoyed this one so much.
