Preschool Book Review - Art

From The Book

About The Book

Meet Art, an artistic little boy. It's his name and it's what he does. Art is a little boy who loves art. As Art sits on the page, he brings the book to life with his art. Whether he's making blotches, or splotches, zigs or zags, Art's art is fun and appealing. What a cute little guy, too!

When Art gets tired, he falls asleep among his art, only to find it hanging on the fridge when he awakes. Why? "Cause Mother loves Art."

In this sweet book, children will delight in Art. He is a likeable fellow, whose whole world comes to life in front of our eyes. Preschoolers love creating, and this skill should be embraced as much as possible. Share Art's love for art, and your kids will see the many wonderful sides of "art."

From The Reviewer - Sylvia C. Hall

Although this book is a little shorter in word count, the pictures stand to tell a story on their own. The bright, solid images will keep even the shortest-termed listener involved and intrigued. Art's images are relatable to preschoolers because they look like art they have created. McDonnell has done an excellent job of portraying a true childlike artist!

The idea behind the book is a play on the words "art." The boy's name is Art and he enjoys doing art. It's extremely cute, but you might want to take time to talk about this with your preschooler. Or, better yet, you can ask your preschooler to explain to you: who is art, and where is his art?

This book is great for your little artist or for the preschooler that is at first unsure of his or herself. Try following up with this book by letting your preschooler put his or her imagination on the page. Art is a fun book, which helps embrace the little artist within us all!
