Very Good Counting Book And More...
DESCRIPTION: In this simple and elegant counting book from the worldís
most renowned museum, numbers are introduced to children through
masterpieces of art. Each number from one to ten has four pages devoted
to it. First, readers are invited to search for how many of a certain object
they can find in a single piece of art. Then, they turn the page to discover
four different works illustrating that number. Information about each piece
of art and its creator appear in the back of the book. While kids practice
counting, adults will love the cultural richness and educational value of this
tour through the Metropolitan Museumís collection, from Ancient Egyptian
tomb paintings and tenth century Iranian art to the work of Vincent Van
Gogh and Homer Winslow.
Personal Review: Museum 123 by The (NY) Metropolitan
Museum of Art

With this absolutely beautiful book both children and adults can enjoy
many different styles of art and play a counting game. I notice this book is
suggested for older elementary school aged children. I know it is a big hit
with my 6 year old even though she knows how to count extremely well.
The art is very interesting and it is a fun game to search for what objects
are the matching number for the page. As we go along we casually
discuss what we like about the pictures, or what we don't like. We also
discuss how some things look similar or very different. There is a very nice
selection of art from America, Europe, India, China, Japan and Egypt. I
think there is even something from Australia and Syria and Iran. I did not
notice anything from South America or anything from Africa south of Egypt,
my applogies if it is there and I missed it. I plan on reading this with
preschoolers. It is my firm belief that one can not develop an appreciation
of art if one does not see art. This is a very engaging way to explore the
world of art.
