Inhaltsangabe

This long-awaited “little sibling” of Abbeville’s bestselling How Artists See series shows preschoolers the varied and beautiful ways in which artists see the world around them.

In How Artists See Jr.: Dogs children will encounter pictures of big dogs, tiny dogs, mischievous dogs, hunting dogs, and more, created by Paul Gaughin, Norman Rockwell, ancient Egyptian painters, and others.

The “apples to apples” comparisons will engage young children, helping them see the familiar in unexpected ways, while the books’ comfortable size and colorful presentation will make them lasting family favorites. Designed specifically to encourage parent-child interaction, thoughtful conversations and vocabulary enrichment, the books feature a “Parents’ Guide” on their back covers suggesting questions for Mom or Dad to ask while browsing.

Adapted from the acclaimed How Artists See series by Colleen Carroll, the concise, appealing How Artists See Jr. format gives young learners a taste of the many exciting ways in which artists see their world. Once they have finished looking at the books, kids may want to create some art of their own!

Age Range: 2 to 6-year-olds

Tips For Using This Book

This diverse collection of images brings together a wide range of artists depicting a single theme, an approach that helps young children see how a favorite subject can look so different, yet so familiar. There are many great ways of using the pictures to encourage learning and spark interest, such as comparing one image to another, creating a simple story based on a favorite image, or asking engaging questions.
Here are some sample questions to get you started:

What is the puppy doing?
Does she look happy or sad? How can you tell?
How many dogs can you see?
Does a dog go “meow,” “ribbit,” or “woof”?
Do you have a favorite?
Which dog looks the biggest/smallest?
If this were your dog, what would you name him?

After looking at these beautiful images together, you may feel inspired to explore your local museum or library to find more images of dogs. Your child may even feel inspired to create his or her own masterpiece on the subject. At the end of this book you will find more information on the pictures, including where they can be viewed, if applicable. Happy looking!
