Put Mona Lisa's face under Van Gogh's straw hat! Give Frida Kahlo George Washington's wig! Add a Botticelli necklace to the old man fromAmerican Gothic!
In the tradition of Abbeville's best-selling Flip-O-Saurus (25,000 copies in print), here is a book that teaches kids about great works of art through active play. Each of 10 portrait masterpieces is divided into threes: hair or hat, face, and neck and shoulders. Swap the panels for funny combinations. All are by great artists, including Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Arcimboldo, Frida Kahlo, and Vincent van Gogh. All of the works are also from great international museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Louvre, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the National Gallery, London, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Uffizi, Taipei's Palace Museum.
