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.
PreSchool-Grade 3?Somewhere in this collection of famous paintings, children can find a train, an elephant, a hot-air balloon, an airplane, etc. The simple and repetitive text, "I spy with my little eye..." directs young viewers' attention to a specific mode of transportation portrayed in each work of art. In the process of searching out a particular object, other fascinating details and ambiguities will surely intrigue audiences. These beautiful reproductions painlessly expose children to the stories, moods, and actions captured in fine art. As in other books in this series, the simplicity of the layout enhances the accessibility and approachability of an otherwise formidable subject. Lots of white space and the bold text opposite the artwork emphasize the glorious colors and clarity of each picture. Because the objects in the paintings can be rather diminutive, this title is best used in small groups or one-on-one. While Micklethwait includes representation of several centuries and various styles and techniques, 12 of the 13 works are from the Western world. This caveat aside, art instructors and children eager to be challenged on several levels should welcome this new addition to an already popular series.?Carol Ann Wilson, Westfield Memorial Library, NJ
