Tell Me a Pictureby Quentin Blake
Powells.com Staff PickReading Tell Me a Picture is like taking a trip to the the Metropolitan Museum of Art with your favorite family. Quentin Blake chose twenty-six famous paintings and drawings, and then added his own drawings of a lively family whose comments help the reader notice what's special about each work of art. Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:What’s in a painting, or an illustration? Renowned artist Quentin Blake wants to know, and to encourage young readers to explore the question, too. In Tell Me a Picture he chooses 26 works for the stories they tell. Uccello’s grand and gorgeous Saint George and the Dragon is here, as well as works by 20th-century talents like painter Edward Hopper and illustrator Roberto Innocenti. In Tell Me a Picture, Blake's own quirky characters introduce each image, pointing out details and asking questions, encouraging engagement. Also here are short introductions to each artist and work, along with suggestions for helping children think about art without being intimidated. Review:"This is an opportunity to discover artists previously unknown, while noting the parallels between the art in museums and that in picture books." Children's Literature
Review:"A welcome addition to the realm of visual literacy for families and educators." School Library Journal
