A Child's Book of Art: Discover Great Paintings is a beautiful and inspiring collection of paintings carefully chosen to interest children and launch them into a love and understanding of art. Lucy Micklethwait has selected paintings by various artists from different periods in history. Each one tells its own story. Lucy's approach is to turn children into detectives giving them clues to unlock the meaning of the paintings they are looking at. The thought-provoking questions and fascinating answers encourage children to look closely at a painting and to understand what they see. "By opening children's eyes to art we can help them to understand the world in which they live and the people with whom they share it." - Lucy Micklethwait
