In these titles, two animals loved by children - a cat and a dog - are used to introduce young children to the world of fine art. Each book features paintings by artists from contrasting schools and cultures. In every picture a cat or dog can be found, sometimes in the most unexpected place. This activity provides the starting point for further conversation about the paintings - their different colours, contents and styles - and encourages children to take their first steps to an appreciation of art. Each of the paintings is labelled with the title and artist's name, and together they build up into an art collection.

From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 2-Each of these appealing books introduces youngsters to 13 pieces of fine art. In the first, they are asked to look for cats in paintings by such artists as Renoir, Brueghel, Klee, and Miro. In the second, readers are to find dogs in the works of Degas, Bonnard, Picasso, etc. The format is clean and uncluttered with large print and lots of white space on the left opposite an excellent quality, full-color reproduction on the right. For the most part, the text is simple enough for beginning readers, but some of the animals are easier to spot than others. A super way to get children to look closely at art.?Susan Chmurynsky, East Kentwood Freshman Campus, MI
