This long-awaited ?little sibling? of Abbeville?s bestselling
How Artists See series shows preschoolers the varied and beautiful
ways in which artists see the world around them. The How Artists
See Jr. board books are a child?s first introduction to the magic
and beauty of art. Like a miniature museum exhibit that parent and
child can explore together, each book features twelve diverse works
of art from around the world, centered on a theme that little ones
love: Babies, Dogs, Horses, or Trains. This enlightened and proven
approach for bringing art to children is ideal for the board book
set. The ?apples to apples? comparisons will engage young children,
helping them see the familiar in unfamiliar ways, while the books?
comfortable size and colorful presentation will make them lasting
family favorites. Designed specifically to encourage parent-child
interaction, the books also feature a ?Parents? Guide? on their
back covers suggesting questions for Mom or Dad to ask while
browsing. Adapted from the acclaimed How Artists See series by
Colleen Carroll, the concise, appealing How Artists See Jr. format
gives young learners a taste of the many exciting ways in which
artists see their world. Once they have finished looking at the
books, kids may want to create some art of their own! Age Range: 2-
to 6-year-olds Colleen Carroll is an educational consultant whose
