Look! Look! Look!

Thia book is the perfect tool for helping children to become comfortable in a museum of art. It is also excellent for teaching lessons on noticing shapes and patterns in the world around us.

This book is an amazing way to teach children of quite an age range the many different ways to look at art work. Three mice take a visual journey through a painting, looking at the painting's lines, colors, and shapes. It's a great visual story so young kids love the book and older children (even some adults!) can learn of the many ways to appreciate a work of art. A must at home, in the library, and in an art class!

Written and illustrated by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace with the assistance of Linda K. Friedlaender, Look! Look! Look!, is the creative and original tale of three mice (Kiki, Alexander and Kat), and their fun exploration into the world of fine art. Following the three mice as they create their own version of a postcard featuring the elegant and detailed portrait painting of Lady Clopton, Look! Look! Look! captivates its young readers with a fun and inventive collection of art appreciation ideas and concepts throughout. Indeed, children are encouraged at one point to make their own work of art using the principles the mice have been discovering and conveying in their own efforts to observe all the details a work of art. An unusual and strongly commended addition to family, school, and community picturebook collections for children ages 5 to 8, Look! Look! Look! is enthusiastically recommended for artistic young readers as a picturebook tale of interest, information, and ideas.
