Enjoying Art with Children (Come Look With Me)

This is a beautiful book and very relatable to children. You can compare how the kids dress and what they are doing to today. I like that they included a modern example so there is that comparison. HOWEVER, it would have been nice if the presentations were MORE diverse. Meaning the examples all appear to be white Europeans. I am sure there are images of children or babies in other pieces of artwork besides this narrow focus. In areas of high ethnic diversity, I suggest you add in the other books in the series focused on play and African American art. - that way there is a variety of cultures shown. I do not suggest the Latin art book unless your children are older and can handle the images.... the Latin book was my least favorite in the series which is sad because so much beauty comes from that culture.

Wonderful addition to our homeschool curriculum. I use it with my kids aged 3 and 5. Each painting is accompanied by a set of questions you can ask your children, however you can obviously come up with endless more to open their minds about art! My kids really enjoy this part of "art class". It's nice to sit and discuss art with my young children. We don't live ANYwhere near a museum so this is as close as we will get for a while. Wonderful to explore their young creative minds!

Looking through this book with my three year old grand daughter was lots of fun and enlightening, for me at least. Using the questions posed by the book about the various different portraits and subjects jumped started a great conversation about the life that my little Ruby lives now. For a child who loves to wear a fox hoodie or her Rocket Cat costume, to see the clothing children had to wear centuries ago gives her a different view of the world. She wanted to know where the computer was. We talked about the kinds of toys children might have played with and the food they would have eaten. She saw herself and her little sister in a portrait of two young girls reclining and talking together. This is a great series of books to introduce art to a young child with.

The kids and I love this book! For every picture there will be about 5 to 10 questions you ask the children about the painting. This has really allowed the kids to just stop and take a good look at a painting. I find that they are looking a little longer each time and noticing a bit more. After the questions it will have a paragraph or so describing the artist and why he/she may have painted the particular painting. It's a very good intro for kids to familiarize them with great artists names and their works.

This book is a beautiful combination of objective and subjective views of art. It has thought provoking questions, as well as factual and biographical information regarding the painting and artist. I love reading these with my children and will be sure to buy more of this series!!

I love these books. I do wish they had a larger selection of art in each book but I do like that the books are broken down into styles and categories. The selections are beautiful, they are full page, and they are good representations of their genre. On the opposite page are thought provoking questions for young children about the selected piece. I have enjoyed learning with these books as much as the children have.

I bought this book to study with my children who are homeschooled. The art is beautiful and has questions to ask your child, the questions are very thought provoking and lead to some really good discussions. I highly reccomend this book.

This is a very educational book. It teaches children how to view and appreciate those masterpieces. We enjoy the book.

Lovely gentle way to introduce children to art and how to look at art.
