I loved the art for its own sake but examining it for the items really got me to take a much closer look. The different styles and subject matter made it much more interesting. So glad I found the key after the first 5!

I really like the idea behind this book. It's an entertaining way to introduce kids to various artists and to have them look closely at the details. Read this in good light! For the most part, the paintings are greatly reduced from the originals and the printing is on the dark side, which makes it hard to find some of the things listed.

This book is full of reproductions of famous paintings and ask you to find the hidden images the well-know artist have hidden in them. AWESOME book. Would keep both adults and kids entertained for hours.

I'm all for exposing children to great art. My 5-year-old daughter loved this book; I found the pictures a little grainy / hard to see to find the sought items.

This book is great for exposing children to fine art, and teaching them (in a fun way) to be careful observers. I checked it out from the library and look forward to buying a copy for my kids.
