Another creative, educational and entertaining book that introduces children to art. Not only is the wording witty but the paintings are carefully chosen to appeal to children. Since the book is interactive, it gives kids the opportunity to be explore well known paintings and, of course, to ask lots of questions. This book is a fabulous addition to a must read series of children books.

The imaginative, creative authors of the Touch the Art series have once again brought their talents to young children. These two new titles, "Catch Picasso's Rooster" and "Tickle Tut's Toes" have all the beauty and excitement of the first series and even more charm and whimsy. Children can actually play with the books, and in the process, engage in an intimate relationship with works of art that they otherwise would probably not see or understand for many years.My grandchildren love these books, and I find that when I take them to art museums they are now genuinely interested, searching for the works of one of the painters this series has introduced them to. Bravo!

My kids loved the first 4 books in the Touch the Art series and were very excited to learn about the new books. Just like the others, my kids love to read and touch these books. I love them becasue they are fun, instructional, tactile and such high quality. Not only do my kids learn from these books - I learn something every time I read them.

My kids can't put any of the Touch The Art books down. We all love them. They are our favorite books.

Touch the Art: Catch Picasso's Rooster

Catch Picasso's Rooster is the funniest, catchiest book in the series. I have all the books in this set, and have to say that my children enjoy all of them. These books are a great interactive and tactile way to teach your children about art. These will be your children's favorite books. My son is almost 3 and has had this book since his first christmas, one of his favorite lines from any of his books has come from this book, "Rooster, Rooster, what do you do?"

As a fan of this series, what I particularly like about Catch Picasso's Rooster is the combination of art and animals. Kids always like seeing, learning about and touching animals. This book allows parents with an interest in art to sneak some art appreciation into what otherwise would be a more usual board book about animals. My favorite page is The Foxhounds - a great painting shown here with cute soft ears!

Every young child wants to catch something...a butterfly, a bubble,a ball....A Rooster!This book offers a fun and exciting way for children to learn about the magic of Picasso's world..
This is a charming,must-read experience for every parent and child!Roberta Hirsch (Educational Consultant,NYC)

This series is great. It's a perfect introduction for toddles/ preschools to the world of art. All pages have a hands on feature. I would highly recommend these books.

Promised so much re concept and title. Failed to deliver both visually and in the text. The text was laboured and disconnected from the pictures. The touch areas were very small and the smell from the cheese (on ones fingers after touching it) was revolting. Epic fail.
