My five year old loves this

I bought this for my five year old and actually learnt a lot from it myslef. I’ve decided to send it to my 52 year old friend too who confessed over Christmas she doesn’t understand how people get emotional over a painting. This is one of those unpretentious books that is useful for any age.

Fewer pages than advertised

It's a really nice book. There are not 42067 pages in it, though.
I've knocked-off a couple of stars for that.

An excellent introduction resource

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 October 2018

Verified Purchase

A very sturdy and well made book. The text information is a long way beyond my three year old, however the pictures of the artworks in their many forms and styles make for some interesting browsing. There’s not a great deal on art forms other than paintings, with a small amount of the book dedicated to sculpture and so on toward the back.
The book depicts art from many different essential movements, and also explores ancient and modern art. There are dedicated pages to well known artists, and showcases their most famous art.
This is a great introduction to art that is lovely to look through.
