Each of the fourteen magnificent paintings in this book contains a different shape for you to find. Some are easy to spot, and others are more challenging. But take a closer look -- after you think you've found them all, there are even more shapes to look at and discover.

Excellent way to introduce children to works of art.
Introduces kids to art and reteaches shapes through famous art pieces.
This is splendid! Would love a board book version.
Love. There's such a nice variety in the different pieces of art, and I can look at the pictures with my baaaabbbbbyyyyyy.

A clever, artful concept book that presents a series of fine art reproductions, and asks readers to identify particular shapes within each painting. Serving as an introduction to shapes for younger children, this book will also introduce older children to modern art. Featuring a list in the back of the book with title, artist, and current location of each painting, this lovely and intriguing volume will appeal to children ages 4 and up."

for fun & for teaching shapes for younger kids & for art appreciation
I just love the books by this author. The last one I read was set up as this one was, with fourteen paintings, but it was to find colors, not shapes: I Spy Colors in Art. The 2 books would be perfect to read together. So far, my favorite art books for children by her are A Child's Book of Art: Great Pictures First Words and A Child's Book of Play in Art.
This one is a bit of a challenge for younger kids. Some of the shapes are ones they might have to learn, but it’s a terrific way to teach them. ...more

This book is a fun and interactive way to introduce young children to shapes and colors. The repetitive nature of the sentences make it easy for children to follow along and the colorful pictures that correspond to it make it a sure favorite for young children. This book draws children in to actively search for the shapes that are mentioned. It also gets young children familiarized with shapes that are used in geometry.This book reminds me of the giant "I Spy" books that I so enjoyed when I was

Built on the "I Spy with my little eye" games familiar from driving trips, Micklethwait encourages her young readers to find shapes in 14 famous paintings from artists ranging from Warhol to Matisse. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn to look at art in a new way and introduce some of the world's best known talents.

Shapes are found all throughout the art demonstrated in this book. Spying shapes in art is a great way to show students that shapes/math concepts are everywhere. However, I would not use this book when first introducing shapes because of the excessive stimuli and, at times, lack of clarity.
Borrow if you just want to learn shapes; buy this if you like art and art-quality children's books. Go to the Reading Tub for our review.

While it isn't the first book I'd use to introduce shapes, many of them my two year old could do. As an adult, it's certainly one of the more interesting shapes books I've seen and it kept T's attention, too, as she looked for shapes.

art lovers with children in their lives
I love this series of books and so does my child. I love exposing my kiddo to various genres of art. After one read, my son was picking out the shapes and pointing to others as he found them in on the page. I want the entire series on my bookshelf at home.
This is a fun book using art work to play I Spy.
I found this book in the store at the art museum. It is a must have book for the classroom. Keeps the love of art alive. I like the well known artists throughout the book.
Basic, but a fun introduction to look at shapes in art. Really meant for a 2-3 year old.
showing the art forms and naming shapes for ememgent reader
We got this book from the library. I think it would be a good purchase for later.
I really liked how they used real works of art in the book. It was also fun looking for the certain shapes.

It is very neat how there are artworks from various famous artists and it challenges readers to find certain shapes in the actual works of art. I like how it integrates math with art.
