Ages 1 and Up. You’re never too young to learn to appreciate art! One of Bob Raczka’s many children’s books about art, “Art Is…” uses photographs of famous art to go with a simple rhythmic definition of what art is: “Art is a ceiling. Art is a wall. Art is a frame holding nothing at all. Art is an island surrounded by pink. Art is how artists get you think.” The book ends with notes on each piece of art featured, which is good for adults and older child readers. Recommended for art non-fiction or picture book collections in public and elementary school libraries. ( )

"Summary: Rhyming text and photographs show that art is much more than just what can be hung on a wall or set on a pedestal."
very simple, cute, and beautiful. ( )
