Although there is some overlap between this book and other art books for children, particularly the DK "Children's Book of Art", this book is terrific. High quality paper means this works nicely for a gift, or to donate to your child's classroom or school library. The pages have a "zoom in" feature which lets the reader explore the paintings more deeply. Nice text, great captions, beautiful choices in the artwork.Explore in-depth these paintings:The Arnolfini Portrait by Jan Van EyckSpring by Sandro BotticelliSt. George and the Dragon by RaphaelMona Lisa by LeonardoThe Sistine Chapel Ceiling by Michelangelo (many sections)Las Meninas by Diego VelazquezThe Courtyard of a House in Delft by Pieter de HoochSelf Portrait 1661 by RembrandtGirl with a Pearl Earring by Jan VermeerMr. and Mrs. Andrews by Thomas GainsboroughThe Great Wave by Katsushika HokusaiThe Fighting Temeraire by J.M.W.
