The Little Girl's Little Book of Art (Hardcover)

Art appreciation can never start too early in a child s life. The art and artists that are included in this little book have been chosen to appeal to girls aged three to ten years. The text is intended to engage a little girl s curiosity and encourage her imagination whether the book is read to her or she reads it alone. The pictures speak for themselves so a child of any age can thumb through the pages of the book at her leisure. Choosing only thirty artists and only three paintings of each is by definition a very selective process. As a result, many noteworthy, indeed truly great, artists have been excluded. Likewise, the artist s paintings presented in this book may not be the artist s most important works because the subject or scene depicted in those works are not appropriate for a child s book. Instead, the works were selected with the goal of instilling in readers a desire to know more about art and the creative process and to be attracted to and identify with the colors, subjects, and scenes. As a little girl grows older, she will experience this book in different ways and from varying perspectives. The Little Girl s Little Book of Art will grow with your little girl, suggesting new insights and ideas as the years go by."
