This review is from: Sticker Art Shapes: Alexander Calder (Paperback)
I bought this book because I was creating an Alexander Calder themed nursery around art that was already in my house. I intended to use the stickers in this book as wall stickers to compliment the other generic circles purchased in other places. Well, don't do that. Or don't do it unless you're willing to put up with a little sagging and have a lot of double-stick scotch tape on hand. Still they made my mural spectacular.
The concept of the book itself is fascinating. The reusable stickers are actually meant to be placed on "incomplete" works of the art shown in the book so that kids are recreating the art. Ingenius really. When my baby is older, I may need another copy for him to actually play with, but for now it was a great resource in completing a Calder themed room -- quite welcome as there's not much out there.
