Seen Art?

This was the only book all school year that my son didn’t want to return to the library to receive a different book. Comical play on the word/name “Art” and educates the kids on famous artists.

Such a great book! Scieszka and Smith are a wonderful author/illustrator team and this joint effort is amazing. It starts out with a child asking if someone has seen his friend, Art. He is then directed to the Museum of Modern Art where he goes on a whirlwind tour and gets to see many different pieces of art. This book introduces children to art, and to the MoMA in a creative way. I also really liked the information about all of the pieces of art in the back.

I absolutely loved going through this book. The photos of the various artworks are great, especially for children, but what I really got a kick out of was the creative storyline. I think this book is wonderful for any age - bought it to read to my 4 month old, but I think I enjoy it as much or more than her!

An absolutely wonderfully creative introduction to art. The kind of children's book that is as entertaining for the adult reading, as for the child listening. I thought it would be too advanced for my four year old grandchild, but he grabbed it and begged me to read, and we were both enchanted. Can't recommend it enough.

This is a great book for all ages.... I will use it in my elementary art class and High school class. A college professor recomended "Math Curse" and I looked it up and found one on art! He said "as a teacher, you have to be obsessed with your subject." So I was and purchased this book and it is GREAT!

We love this book. We bought 2 to give one of them as a gift to my daughter`s art teacher.

It is a good art/picture book, but your young ones may not understand or be engaged in it.

Lane Smith's new book is exactly what I come to expect from his work. Clever, snappy text and amazing illustrations. What a great way to experience a museum and learn about great art. Fun!

Kids loved it as a guided reading book. We managed to use it for role play, language and to create a balanced argument about whether something was art or not.Good for pointing out differences in UK and American English

Lovely book

同作家コンビの「Math Curse」「SCIENCE VERSE」をよんだならば、本書はその美術編ではと、期待する ファンも多いはず。前作で算数や理科といった、頭のいたくなるような教科をみごとにチャカしてみせた彼らが、美術という絵本にもっともなじみある世界をどうみせるのか？その期待はいい意味でうらぎられます。今回は舞台が教室ではなく、美術館での学外演習的な趣き。彼ら流のやり方で、現代美術が紹介されます。全体的にいつもの毒気は少ない分、上品な仕上がりですね。舞台となる美術館の、ダダっ広さがよく伝わる極端な横長の判型にもこだわりが感じられてGOOD !
