commended addition to family, school, and community picturebook collections for
children ages 5 to 8,
Look! Look!
Look!
is enthusiastically
recommended for artistic young readers as a picturebook tale of interest,

ideas."

"Of the growing number
of picture books that attempt to instill art appreciation in a young audience,
this title stands out for its charm, usefulness, and age appropriateness....
Deceptively simple, this eye-opening, fresh look at art education offers good
opportunities for classroom
exercises."

"The exercises
performed are some solid entrees into the examination of a painting (co-author
Friedlaender is the curator of education at the Yale Museum of British Art,
where the original of Lady Clopton’s portrait resides) that blessedly give
young art viewers something to do in looking at art instead of endless
open-ended questions to
answer."

"This is not only an
amusing, creative story, but also an adventure into art that encourages
originality while inspiring creativity. Great for libraries and elementary art
instructors."
