Touch the Tutu,
By
This review is from: Touch the Art: Make Van Gogh's Bed (Board book)
This book has it all. Three of the five senses anyway are engaged - sight, sound, and touch. What do we see? Art - great art. Masterpieces of Monet, Degas, Renoir, Cezanne, and, of course Van Gogh. Each spread introduces a famous canvas. Each one is a feast for young eyes. And older ones too... What do we feel? Each reproduction has a tactile area that all will want to touch. Scratchy sandpaper in Cassatt's Children on the Beach. Silky peach fuzz in Still Life with Peaches and Cherries by Cezanne. And of course a frilly tutu in L'Etoile by Edgar Degas. What do we hear? Rhythmic rhymes alongside each painting take us through a day at the beach. It begins with Van Gogh's bedroom at Arles - Wake up! Good morning sleepy head. It's time to make your messy bed. It ends with The Starry Night, also by Van Gogh. It's dark outside. Stars are shining bright. Pull up your covers and say good night! Courtlynn, age 14 months, gives it a strong endorsement.

This review is from: Touch the Art: Make Van Gogh's Bed (Board book)
This is a great touch and feel book! It includes:
Van Goghs Bedroom at Arles- Vincent van Gogh Still life with Cherries and Peaches- Paul Cezanne Still life with Three Puppies- Paul Gaughin L'etoile (the Star)- Edgar Degas A Girl with a Watering Can- Pierre-Auguste Renoir Children on the Beach- Mary Cassatt The Water Lily Pond: Green Harmony- Claude Monet The Cradle- Berth Morisot The Starry Night- Vincent van Gogh We love this whole series of books! The authors include a short paragraph at the end of the book about each work of art and the artist who created it. While the prose in this book isn't stellar, the art is truly the star, and makes the book fun to read for us grownups. Both my 18 month old and my 3 yr old enjoy these books! And so do I, the mommy!

A good start for great art,

This review is from: Touch the Art: Make Van Gogh's Bed (Board book)
My mother will tell you her favorite way to wear out a pair of shoes is at the Met. My favorite game as a kid? Why, Masterpiece, of course.
So when these fat little volumes landed in my lap, I was pretty happy. Kids' books on great art are a trend these days. Whether it's a biography or a famous painting or a museum trip, publishers seem eager to serve up extra helpings of the stuff. Not sure why, except perhaps it's appealing to the same parents who are snatching up all those Baby Mozart CDs. You scoff. Maybe you don't think my daughter will be able to discern Van Gogh from Vermeer by the time she potty trains, but it won't be for my lack of trying. Familiarity breeds, uh, well, more familiarity. These four sturdy board books are organized by genre: Great Masters, Impressionists, Modern Art and Pop Art, and add ribbons, bits of lace or texture for kids to touch, spindle or mutilate. Product testing in our state-of-the-art laboratory reveals the books hold up well under extreme conditions, such as stomping, gnawing and being dropped from bunk beds. Each masterpiece gets its own little verse. Here's this for one of Degas' dancers: Twirling tutus, 1,2,3! The girls are waiting by the sea. The verses are adorable bits of whimsy, or they encourage the kids to play with what they see. Biographical tidbits and explainers are in the back, labeled "artifacts".
