FROM THE CRITICS

School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 3-The artistic splendor of the world of nature is depicted by both unknown and renowned artists. In Animals, reproductions of paintings and drawings highlight the work of Pablo Picasso, M. C. Escher, Albrecht D rer, Henri Matisse, and the painters of the Lascaux caves. A mother sheep feeding her lamb, a rhinoceros playing with her cub, and a hen walking with her chicks express the gentle bond between mother and offspring. In Nature, the text notes, "nature is both great and small-calm or wild-" while delightful full-color photographs of objects and reproductions of work by Paul Klee, Gustav Klimt, and Claude Monet depict the beauty of the ocean, the field, and the mountains. With their simple texts and descriptive captions, these introductions will be applauded by both children and adults.-Patricia Mahoney Brown, Benjamin Franklin Elementary School, Kenmore, NY Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
