Art Is . . .

by Bob Raczka
The Millbrook Press, 2003
Simple rhyming verse introduces 27 kid-friendly works of art and shows that art comes in all sorts of forms, from a Lascaux cave painting to a Picasso sculpture to a Tiffany lamp. The large, clear photos invite study, and brief endnotes provide interesting facts about the artists and their works. The uncomplicated design and language make this intriguing picture book perfect for preschoolers and beginning readers, but older readers will enjoy taking a look as well.
