A fun way to learn about art! This simple, engaging introduction to art combines superb reproductions of an imaginative selection of artworks by artists ranging from Rousseau and Seurat to Lowry and Van Gogh. With beautifully pitched text written by Susie Brooks, supported by friendly cartoon-style illustrations, What's in the Picture invites young children to search for particular objects or other detail in the paintings displayed.
