Filled with stunning color reproductions, this vibrant book introduces young readers to artistic masterpieces by engaging their curiosity and sense of play. Finding and naming colors and objects is an exciting learning activity for young children, and what better way to teach them than through art? This ingenious book employs great works of art from a variety of genres and periods to ask children engaging questions. Children are invited to play "I Spy" with colors and objects in a medieval tapestry, a Renaissance mural, an aboriginal work from Australia, and a painting by Hieronymus Bosch. In addition, each artwork is accompanied by a brief description for older readers. Filled with glorious color, this introduction to important works will set the stage for a greater appreciation of art in later years.

Gr 2–5—This title encourages readers to search for colors, shapes, figures, and patterns in a well-selected array of great artworks. Among the offerings here are pieces by Grant Wood, Canaletto, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Jackson Pollock, Robert Delaunay, Paul Signac, and many others, including one of the unicorn tapestries and a modern Australian native piece called Emu Dreaming. Like its predecessor, The Art Treasure Hunt (Prestel, 2012), also by Kutschbach, this book is large, splendid, and challenging, and adults may well be called in to assist in the hunt for something green (actually, the palest mint green) or to help define "crayfish" and "gondolas." The smallest items in the book are, unfortunately, the pictures in the answer key; these are difficult to decode. The largest item is a glorious four-page foldout of one of Henri Matisse's enchanting compositions. Leave this volume out in the classroom or living room; young explorers will find their way to it.—Susan Weitz, formerly at Spencer-Van Etten School District, Spencer, NY
