Each title in the "In Art" series is designed to help readers enjoy and understand works of art, while encouraging them to create their own. Highly illustrated, with fact boxes and activities, the series should be suitable as an introduction to the world of art and the inspiration behind it.

Grade 5-8. Lewis takes readers on an armchair journey through various cultures in history. The explorations are not necessarily chronological but highlight major themes of art history, focusing upon the Vikings, traders in the East, and pioneers of the West. The legendary travels of Jason and the Golden Fleece from Greek mythology and various Biblical voyages are included. In the course of the discussion, many specific and unusual facts are revealed. Somerville gives an overview of the depiction of animals in art, beginning with the materials used by cavemen. Both books include boxed sidebars that feature ideas for art projects, detailed explanations of a particular artist or subject, and questions that lead youngsters to further explorations. Short biographical sketches of the artists discussed are appended. These titles stimulate an understanding of art and encourage students to create their own works of art. Teachers, librarians, art instructors, and museum affiliates will find limitless possibilities for this series.?Patricia Mahoney Brown, Benjamin Franklin Elementary School, Kenmore, NY
