An intelligent introduction to art for young children

In this media-saturated age, young children are surely not be deprived of images to watch. But how many are encouraged to reflect on the beauty and power of art? As the mother of a six year-old, I'm grateful for the appearance of this series, The Life and Work of... There aren't many art books for children this age; most are simply too long and involved for young children. Leonardo Da Vinci is filled with large type text, beautiful reproductions, attractive illustrations that advance the story, photos of Italy and France, and, most important, a colorful narrative that is sure to appeal to children 4-8. Given the helpful glossary at the end, I can't for the life of me understand why they didn't add a pronunciation guide for names like Andrea del Verrochio. Still I won't take a star away from this series for the error, because I believe the book is more profitably shared by parent and child than read on its own.
