A fun way to learn about art! This simple, engaging introduction to art combines superb reproductions of an imaginative selection of artworks by artists ranging from Kandinsky and Seurat to Canaletto and Van Gogh. It also features works from great American artists such as Tom Wesselmann, Grant Wood, and Jacob Lawrence. With beautifully pitched text supported by friendly cartoon-style illustrations, What's in the Picture? invites young children to search for particular objects or other detail in the paintings displayed. Further questions encourage children to examine each artwork and to explain, very simply, what is happening in the pictures.

Who's in the jungle, prowling through a storm? Who's at the seaside on a busy beach? Who's in the stables, stamping and neighing? With paintings by Frida Kahlo, Henri Rousseau, Winslow Homer, and many more, this playful search-and-find book invites children to explore and interact with art. Friendly text written by Susie Brooks and fun questions encourage readers to examine each painting and to explain, very simply, what is happening in the pictures. A gallery of images at the end of the book gives further details about each painting, including where the original artwork can be viewed.
