Book Description

October 28, 2006 4 - 6 yearsTouch the Art
It’s pop, with a twist—a fun collection of works by such 20th century masters as Warhol, Lichtenstein, and Hockney that turns the art world into a fingertip sensation. What could be better than pulling on the lettuce in Claes Oldenburg’s Two Burgers with Everything? Or stroking the fluffy eyelashes on Warhol’s pink-toned Marilyn? It’s an experience kids will never forget.

5.0 out of 5 stars great touch and feel art book! April 16, 2008
Format:Board book|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a great concept! Famous works of art are made more approachable by use of touch and feel! We love all the books in this series. My two girls are 3 yrs old and 18 months old and they both love touching this book!
This book includes:
Campbell's Soup Can- Andy Warhol
Untitled- Keith Haring (red, blue and green figures dancing)
Girl with Ball- Roy Lichtenstein
Two Cheeseburgers with Everything- Claes Oldenburg
The Woodcut Bathrobe- Jim Dine
Cakes- Wayne Thiebaud
Marilyn- Andy Warhol
Love, Indiana Stable May 66- Robert Indiana
Mustard on White- Roy Lichtenstein
At the end of the book the authors have included a short paragraph about each work of art and the artist who created it, which is great for me since I never knew much about modern art.
As with all the books in this series, the artwork is the main event- don't buy these books for the great literary prose- you'll be disappointed there. But the great art really makes up for it! You will be so engrossed by the artwork and the touch and feel that the lack of creative prose wont bother you!
These books are great for kids and their parents! The famous works of art make touch and feel books more interesting for the parents, and the fun tactile elements make art education books more fun for the kids!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unusual Use June 27, 2007
Format:Board book
I bought all of the books in this series for my nine-year-old son who is autistic. His skill set and sensory issues are all over the place, so it is nice to find a series of books with lots of tactile opportunities and simple reading but that are more sophisticated than the usual "touch and feel" board books for babies.

4.0 out of 5 stars One little problem popping Warhol's top April 19, 2009
Format:Board book
This interactive book is fine and fun, with one little glitch. Warhol's soup can has a moveable lid that is one of the better features of all those in the book. The problem is that it is attached by a flimsy tag of cardboard, and if the child rotates the lid too many times (or in a complete 360) the lid breaks off entirely. I re-attached ours using a small grommet kit, but what a pain. So, buy the book ... but be careful not to completely pop Warhol's top!

This is a sturdy book with lovely, clear images of well-known works of art. The prose is nice, and it is short and sweet without being redundant or predictable. Read more
