Twenty paintings from museums around the world turn into interactive games of "I Spy." Readers are challenged to find birds, fish, babies, and other details in full-color reproductions ranging from an Indian manuscript to a contemporary painting by American Dana Van Horn. The task isn't as easy as it seems, and an appendix includes not only the answer key but also additional information about each artwork.

Nineteen paintings from the Metropolitan Museum of Art--including portraits, landscapes, and a detail from an Egyptian tomb--are reproduced, most on double-page spreads. Each is accompanied by a list of objects that can be found within the painting. Hunting for these details is difficult, but the book offers an interactive experience in art appreciation. Brief notes about the paintings are included with the solutions.
