Brush Mona Lisa's Hair (Touch the Art)

by Julie Appel

Brush Mona Lisa's Hair (Touch the Art) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The "Touch the Art" series is a fresh, funny introduction to fine art for kids. 

 "Jump inside" the paintings with fun, tactile pages that introduce children to the works of the world's greatest artists and their famous paintings. Each book in the "Touch the Art" series gives kids the chance to tug, snap, lift and pull their way through art history.  The mysterious Mona Lisa could use a little grooming--so go ahead and brush her long black hair! Continue with the Old Masters by touching the large, lacy collar of Frans Hals’ The Laughing Cavalier, petting the horse’s tail in Velazquez’s Prince Baltasar Carlos on Horseback, and arranging the snappy elastic hair in Boticcelli’s The Birth of Venus. Other paintings come from Vermeer, de la Tour, Raphael, and Van Eyck.

Sarah E Rose, November 22, 2007 (view all comments by Sarah E Rose)
My eleven-month old son LOVES this book-- it is one of those touch and feel books where every page has something to fascinate. It is so much better than many of the other books on the market, because the embellishments are more than just scraps of fabric-- there are lace collars to lift and a horse's tail to pet and a pearl earring to feel. And I love knowing that my infant is soaking up all these gorgeous paintings! It's art history 101 and my baby loves playing with it, too.
