From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 4–This title uses works by 18 different artists to illustrate its theme. Children are shown in nine activities, from Reading and writing to Sleeping. Mary Cassatt's The Child's Bath and Diego Velázquez's Prince Baltasar Carlos on Horseback are among the most familiar. Other works may not be as well known, but they will still delight viewers. The joyous faces in a woodblock print by Kobayashi Eitaku transcend time and culture. Renato Guttuso's more contemporary Little Girl with Ice-Cream shows an experience common to most children. The artwork represents several cultures and ethnic groups, as well as styles and time periods. Text is minimal–just enough to encourage conversation about the reproductions. An excellent first exposure to fine art, and great preparation for museum visits.–Carolyn Janssen, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH
