I used this book as a read-aloud for a K-6 craft program focused on sculpture. The kids had a better grasp on sculpture after reading it. The pictures are great and the text is very informative. However, I would not use it as an alphabet learning tool, but I don't think it was created as such anyway.
This isn't a thrilling book, but it's going to be great to use as a follow-up to our art lesson about Jim Dine and our literacy lesson about using text features.
What a fabulous find! My students loved seeing these unique sculptures and inventing explanations for each of them. A must have for any art enthusiasts!
Use of modern art through ABC format; not what i was hoping for.
An alphabet of sculptural terms and photographs, Fun!
This is a fun book on sculpture. This book also teaches students their ABC’s and a little about sculpture. This book is more for the elementary students but I know a few secondary students who would love this book.
