Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Two board books by Julie Merberg and Suzanne Bober introduce the works of world-renowned artists to the youngest audience. In each, lyrical text accompanies 10 masterpieces. A Magical Day with Matisse, for example, features his famous ring of dancers in Dance II ("Let's dance and fly, hold hands and sing, and spin round and round in a rosie ring"). In the Garden with Van Gogh includes Sunflowers, Irises and The Starry Night. Back matter contains a list of the paintings and the museums in which they appear. (May)

Product Description

With narratives that will entertain art lovers of all ages, these two new board books are a fun way to introduce young children to fine art. The sleepy trees, golden haystacks, and juicy fruits of In the Garden with Van Gogh will delight little ones. And they’ll love spending A Magical Day with Matisse in a world full of music, color, bobbing sailboats, and tickled toes. Playful rhyming texts accompany the artists’ timeless paintings in these little masterpieces.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book, June 3, 2003
By "jendrebr" (Michigan, USA & Germany) - See all my reviews
This is a great book to introduce children to the paintings of Henri Matisse. Best of all the rhyming text captures a childs attention and helps with language development. As an art teacher and a soon to be mother, this book is on the top of my list.

3.0 out of 5 stars Color Not Too Good, February 23, 2006
The color reproduction in this book is off somehow. Also it includes a couple of Matisse's nudes. His nudes are not detailed, but still - - if one is particular about that sort of thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Introduction to Art, March 15, 2006
By Jessica Bart-Williams (Bay Area, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My daughter is 17 months old and loves this series of books. The artwork is representative of the original work and the words do a great job of telling a story for each picture in a descriptive way without "squashing creativity" for the reader.

One minor concern, if you have any objection to nudity, there are pictures of representational nudes in the Matisse book that are indicative of his work. My husband and I discussed it and introduced it to our daughter who didn't seem to care at all. She just loved the "people dancing."
