  In this fun and accessible book, children are encouraged to use their eyes to see paintings in a whole variety of ways. Each spread focuses on a different perspective with 14 perspectives in all. A simple text describes each painting. Children are encouraged to answer questions about the images, then to try an art activity of their own. Look up, and we see a painting of a trapeze artist at the top of a circus tent ( The Flying Cordonos by John Stewart Curry), and we gaze up at the vertical sides of jostling skyscrapers ( Windows by Charles Sheeler). Look again at the paintings of the vegetables. Things aren't quite what they seem. When you turn it upside down, there is the face of a gardener with a grinning mushroom mouth ( The Vegetable Gardener by Guiseppe Arcimboldo).
