Format:Board book
I am a preschool teacher for 3 year olds. We "study" different artists and paint like them. Seurat is one of the artists that I teach my students about and they paint like him using bingo bottles. This book is excellent for the three year olds. It shows many of Seurat's paintings without a lot of words. The children love looking at it and love listening to me read the book! It is a perfect book for introducing art and artists to young children!

I love the fact that these books exist! My daughter is one and is mesmerized by these books. She sits down with them and just looks at them, intently. I love that I can share art with my toddler in a safe and fun way. Otherwise, I'd risk my expensive art books at her little hands. I highly recommend these books, even if you're not a big art fan. The colors alone are great for toddlers!!

I love the Mini Masters series, though this wasn't one of the best. There were only seven paintings included in the book, so there wasn't as much of a cohesive story as some of the other books. I felt like the end came suddenly and would have liked some more. To be fair, Seurat died in his 30s and so the authors would have had a lot less artwork to choose from. If you are collecting this series, this is a must. But if you are a first time purchaser, I would recommend the authors' books on Cassatt, Monet or Matisse.

Very lovely
Very nice pictures, with fairly decent accompanying text. I thought it included a good variety of Seurat's work as well, not just park pixillation paintings.
