From Library Journal This is a wonderful book that will enrich any adult or child. Although the volume is slim, it can be experienced again and again. This is an unusual book in that it can be enjoyed by the very young and their parents, or employed as an exceptional teaching tool by art teachers. This will be a worthwhile addition to any public library.- Annette V. Thoughtful questions are posed to help create awareness and understanding of a situation, and to help youngsters probe the paintings in-depth. . Many children's books have lovely illustrations, but this one uses colorful and well-reproduced landscapes created by famous artists on one page, along with brief texts about the artist and picture on the next.

Another hit! We have loved all of the Come Look With Me books. They are a great way to introduce art (and how to appreciate it!) to young children. Yes, a parent could probably do this same thing with their child, and skip the books, but I'm not incredibly insightful and I usually can't come up with the kind of discussion points that these books do. I love art & I love being able to share that interest with my kids in an easily engaging manner.. Come Look with Me Gave me some good information about the artists.. sovereignmomma said my kids like the pictures. I like the text.. short and sweet little introduction to various artists and styles to which my children had not yet been introduced. Liked the thought provoking and discussion encouraging questions that go along with each represented piece of art. price was right too. I would have preferred a little more oomph to the book, as it is quite thin all in all, a good pick. I will be purchasing others in the "come look with me" series.
