Reviews

PreSchool-K–Two-line rhymes present clues to help young readers find details in paintings from the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Each painting, or portion of it, is matched with three couplets. Some flow smoothly, but others are a bit forced. The text accompanying Johannes Vermeer's Woman with a Lute reads, Look around and be astute./Can you find a tuneful lute?/It's so easy–it's a snap!/Look above and find a map./Look way down, now just explore./Find the squares upon the floor. Readers search Andree Ruellan's Market Place with this clue: Can you find him and reveal/a little boy and his pinwheel? The paintings, by well-known artists from a variety of periods, styles, and countries, fill the pages opposite the text. The quality of the artwork varies; several reproductions are very dark. This, combined with the reduced size, makes some searches quite challenging. The books' conception is good, but the execution is somewhat weak.–Carolyn Janssen, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH
