Each volume focuses on a significant aspect of art: portraits, the animals, and nature. Through clearly presented text and images, these books make it possible -- and enjoyable -- for young readers to explore a work of art on their own without needing an adult to explain it to them. Children will respond eagerly to these four wonderful books that are beautiful, accessible, and don't "talk down" to them, while adults will gain the satisfaction of enlightening a new generation of art lovers.
