Bob Raczka. Brookfield, CT, Millbrook Press, 2002. Illus., softcover, 32 pp., $23.90.

This book is made up of full-page reproductions of paintings by artists from Renoir to Klee to Warhol. The artwork is accompanied by text with statements such as, "No one saw Sunday like Georges Seurat," and "No one saw fish like Paul Klee." (and so on depending on the painting's subject). The concepts for which each artist is best known are highlighted by the tasteful spreads. The page designs are elegant and the selections, although eclectic, are well-known. The artwork offers a way for younger children to become familiar with several major modern painters, but can be adapted to the older levels as well. Four pages of bibliographical notes and a listing of paintings add bits of useful information are included.
