(3) K-3 Art World series. Forgiving some instances of art-historical imprecision, this series designed to initiate art appreciation in young kids succeeds in making child-friendly connections to major Western art movements. Easy-to-read texts are full of observations and questions to encourage engagement ("Can you almost hear the noise?") with the well-reproduced works of art featured on each glossy spread. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Art World titles: What Is Cubism?, What Is Gothic Art?, What Is Impressionism?, What Is Modernism?, What Is Realism?, and What Is Romanticism?.
