Cressy, Judith
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Judith Cressy has a degree in elementary art education and lives in New York City. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the world's leading cultural institutions, home to more than 2 million works of art.
Grade 2-5–In Cressy's sequel to Can You Find It? (Abrams, 2002), details of paintings from the Metropolitan Museum's collection are present, but the author has branched out here to include artwork from three other American museums as well as works from seven European collections. This expansion enriches and enlivens the book and the enjoyable task of finding details within each piece. Each spread features a three-quarter-page picture and a list of several things to look for. Cressy notes how studying a piece to find people, animals, and objects inevitably allows children to look at art closely and carefully. This exposure to international masterpieces representing different cultures and histories throughout the centuries is bound to make an impression on children. The paintings are stunning, and reproduced with attention to light and shadow; their diversity introduces readers to a wide variety of styles and subjects. Answers to the challenges are provided at the end of the book, along with information on each artist, the work itself, and where it resides. This is art as entertainment with an educational bent as well, but, most of all, it is thoroughly engaging.–Tracy Karbel, Glenside Public Library District, Glendale Heights, IL
