Hervé Tullet’s The Big Book of Art is an interactive, and stunning, book of art that is perfect for the preschool set.
Little M and I recently added The Big Book of Art to our reading collection and we can’t get enough. I love that kids (and adults) can create their own works of art simply by turning the pages, which are all cut into two, and mixing and matching the different artwork. The thick pages are easy for toddler hands to manage, and feature colorful and eye-catching designs. We like flipping through and discussing which color we like more, which shape, which pattern, stripes or dots, confetti or letters – and then turning the pages and starting all over again,
We have written about Hervé Tullet here before and his book, Press Here, is one of our all time favorites. This newest book does not disappoint though, and gives us the chance to talk about art and design in a fun and low-key way.
