Media Reviews
Teachers are constantly on the hunt for art books with large, clear reproductions of well-known paintings, so this will make a useful addition to the classroom library... It is beautifully produced, so should do well. Bookseller The author of the popular 'I Spy' series offers an unsual take on fine art, designed to sharpen your kids' observational skills. Artists & Illustrators Sets a satisfying challenge for the young reader. This is a beautiful, informative and fun book for art lovers of any age. Irish Examiner The range of the 10 pictures is broad, covering a mixture of periods, styles and cultures. 'In the Picture' is well-conceived and well-presented, colourful but uncluttered. Although aimed at older children, competent younger readers will get a lot out of it, and the activities can be enjoyed by the curious of any age! It would make a good present, look at home in any school or public libary, and may well prove a useful springboard for craft activites at KS2 or thereabouts. www.writeaway.org.uk A new book from Lucy Micklethwait is always an event and it is amazing how she manages to find yet another way of looking at picures to engage the young reader. School Librarian Gets us looking and the thinking aspect is designed to be initiated by a number of questions relating each painting. Books for Keeps
