Booklist "An obvious choice for museum-bound children to glean a few basics of what they’re about to see, this is also indispensable for any middle-grade classrooms introducing art history."
School Library Journal "The art chosen to illustrate each style is in some cases perfect–van Eyck's The Arnolfini Portrait illustrates Naturalism; in others, surprising-Courbet's The Stone Breakers is a little–seen painting that is nonetheless a fine choice to illustrate Realism."
