Great Introduction of mini Art History for kids
I bought this book originally for myself as I was planning a course on teaching art history for kids. This book used very simple words to describe certain art styles and help kids to know that different people can see different things from one object. What surprised me is that my one-year-old daughter fell in love with it, and she liked to point out all the horses she could find in each page. Also, it's not easy to find picture books with famous paintings as illustrations as this one. Anyway, highly recommend it!
