With a simple concept and beautiful pictures of artwork from the museum, this is a fun book to read with children. I explained to our girls that I expected they would find the book to be a bit babyish, but that I wanted to read it for my picture book club and that I thought they might like the artwork. I liked that five different images are shown for every number and each depicts the number in different ways. I also liked that different types and mediums of art are shown, from tapestries to phot...
I enjoyed this book very much. I really liked all the different illustrations. I enjoyed how even though the book only went up to counting to number ten, it still kept attention throughout because it had pictures that represented that number on each page. I also liked that on the page that revealed the number there were also pictures of random things showing the number. It made me really stop and look to see where in the picture were the objects that corresponded with the number. I think this bo...
My son has just learned how to count to ten. Well, sort of, he is mostly just reciting the numbers from rote memorization and seems to have no concept of what they mean yet. At any rate, he is really into counting, so on our most recent trip to the library we picked out several counting books. This one is really cool. It features paintings or details of paintings from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection to illustrate each number. I admired the different styles of paintings. My child was
enjoyed this a lot, but could somebody tell me what there are seven of in the painting of the three people on the lower left?
I loved this beautiful counting book featuring artwork from the Met. Each page starts with a question written partially in bold, colorful print...for example, "How many kittens follow their mother?" On the facing page is a piece of artwork. On the next page, there are four more small pictures of artwork that also share that same number and on the facing page the number written as a numeral and as a word. I appreciate that a wide variety of types of artwork (mask, quilt, paintings, embroidery, li...
Museum 123 is a book that's suitable for the guided reader. The book uses several artistic styles and famous painting to help children learn to count. I found it difficult as an adult to follow some set of pictures and count how many of something once the pictures became more intricate. I enjoyed the various art styles and works but for a very young child of today it may be hard to keep their attention. At the same rate it's a great way to tie in history and give children an early appreciation o...
This counting book is very different from most counting books children usually read. This book was done by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and uses famous art works for children to look at. Each page ask how many of an object are in a painting and on the next page, the answer is revealed. The numbers go from 1-10. I think this is a wonderful counting book because it exposes children to art forms that are typically viewed by teens and adults. This book would be great for any age, but would be good...
I really wanted to like this book, but I realized that it was just too cluttered. A number is introduced and then the appropriate number of items/figures are shown in corresponding art work. I suppose that from the standpoint of counting objects it would be a way to introduce art to young children, but I think the way the four examples are grouped together without much delineation is distracting. I really tried but just gave up on this.
I enjoy introducing art to Elliot in bite-size pieces. I read Museum ABC to him several months ago and wanted to try this one out too. The art is very diverse, some of which doesn’t interest me (I’m a sucker for Impressionism, not medieval or other ancient art, which is plentiful in this one. Still, it was a good way to practice counting while staring at interesting art. Maybe we’ll revisit it when he’s a bit older.* library book. Read at 22 months
Count things found in artwork up to ten
In this simple and elegant counting book from the world's 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
Excellent selection of artwork of many types, and from a wide variety of diverse artists. The book is arranged in double-page spreads. On the left side of the spread is a question about how many of some object is in the photograph of the artwork, and on the right side is the photo of the artwork. Turn the page, and on the left side there are four smaller photos of additional artworks somehow matching the same number. On the right side is the number, very large, and underneath that, the number is...
A counting picture book using items from The Metropolitan Museum of Art. I'm hoping that *one day* when Ellie and I make it there she'll already love the pictures and be excited that she recognizes some pieces.
This is another one of those children’s art books I love so. It isn't the best book to learn numbers but the numbers are both written out and in numberical form and the art is wonderful. There are 4 art works for each number. In the back of the book given are: artist, name of the painting/piece, country, year/circa, and materials used. Each number corresponds with the contents of the four paintings (i.e. 2 = a picture of two dancing girls). It’s a great introduction to art and reinforces the num...
