About the Author
Lucy Micklethwait says, "I began to play 'I Spy' with paintings with my own children when they were very young. Over and over again my children pointed out things which I had never noticed before—an apple that had fallen to the floor, a funny-shaped shoe, an expression on a face. Although we were simply 'looking at pictures,' I was well aware that, by making these paintings accessible, I was enabling my children to build up a store of images in their own minds which must inevitably lead to some interest in fine art." Ms. Micklethwait's books for children include I Spy Shapes in Art; I Spy: An Alphabet in Art; I Spy Two Eyes: Numbers in Art.
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3-Micklethwait has found a successful formula for talking about art with children; her game of observation works as well in this "I Spy" book as in the first two. The challenge here is to find the animal in each of 20 famous paintings, which are beautifully reproduced in full color on glossy white pages. Some creatures are clearly visible, while others-such as the embroidered snake on the sleeve of Queen Elizabeth I's gown and the baby monkey in an Indian miniature-provide a challenge. The pictures are randomly arranged-a Titian appears before a Fernand Leger, a Peter Blume before a Lucas Cranach. The juxtapositions are startling as the pages are turned, but each work is interesting and begs to be lingered over and discussed. This title can be enjoyed by adults as well as by youngsters.
