The Interactive Art Book by Ron van der Meer – This book is great for tactile learners. It prompts young children to find something in a famous work of art which starts with a particular letter. I Spy: An Alphabet in Art by Lucy Micklethwait – If your child is starting to recognize letters, you can use this book as a game. Perfect for preschoolers, each spread has different categories such as “family,” “wild animals,”shapes,” “opposites,”the weather,” “actions words,” “transportation,” “ways of telling time” and many others, all illustrated through famous works of art.
If you could only get one art history book, this is it.
