I showed this to my just-barely-3 granddaughter and we sat down together to read it after dinner while the grownups did the dishes. My 7 year old grandson joined us, although mostly so as not to be left out. She thoroughly enjoyed it as we identified colors and counted "tars" and grandson helped by reading words for her. When I was done - although she had not been told she could take it home - she took it to her diaper bag and tucked it right in. I asked her why she put it away right away and she reported that she didn't want to "fodet it" and wanted her Daddy to read it to her at bedtime. So... I think there is no better endorsement for a children's book than that a child wants to take it home so Daddy can read it to her. I cued Mom and Dad in and Mom has since reported that she asked to take it with her to day care the following day to show to her teacher who apparently likes stars (because she passes out so many, I suppose.) Nice book.
I actually REALLY like this book. I'm not a huge Warhol fan in general, but I figured it would be a sweet board book for my son to play with. What I didn't expect is for it to be as nice as it was. The pictures are really cute, with sweet messages on them, and there is a (somewhat distorted) mirror at the end - and what kid doesn't love a mirror? I honestly didn't expect to like this book as much as I did - I'm hoping that as my son gets older, he'll find the pictures themselves more interesting than just the joy of turning the pages!
Andy Warhol was a unique artist who declared `In the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes' - and thus the phrase '15 minutes of fame' grew into everyone's memory bank. Warhol was an important artist because he made the obvious artistic - silk screens of famous movie stars, Campbell soup cans, etc. He apparently also doodled.This little book is excerpted from his collection of doodlings based on the word `So' (so many stars, so daring, so fishy etc) and as such it is cute, ending with a bit of reflective mirror that is placed opposite `I love you' and is underlined by the phrase `so there you are'.If you're in the market for a cute little love gift, whether for Valentine's Day or any other occasion (there are SO many), this is an artsy idea. But there really is not much to it except superficial fluff. One for the Warhol fans - but not a significant addition to the oeuvre on the art of Andy Warhol. Grady Harp, February 14
I love the new trend of adapting older artwork to new books, in a way that maintains the integrity of the original artist. There's nothing cheap or cheesy about this little Andy Warhol book. As one page says, it's 'so sweet'! It's very well made and unlike many board books there are a lot of pages. My daughter is one and she loves turning the pages of board books, and I love the art and simple words (makes it easier to keep up as she rapidly turns the pages). There is a surprise mirror at the end that I wasn't expecting, and I love that too! I'm really pleased with this purchase.
I jumped at the chance to pick this book up. The publishers have done a beautiful job taking some of Andy Warhol's doodles and turned them into a lovely-to-look-at board book.The problem is, who is the book actually for? There isn't a story, there isn't a character who continues throughout, there isn't anything being taught (you know, like the alphabet, or numbers...). There's just kind of this "So many...." concept.My wife and I think it's cool, but so far, my little toddler doesn't care. We've tried to figure out what would be the best way to present this art to the world, as a board book doesn't seem like the way. My vote: greeting cards or note cards.
This has been my sons favorite book for over a year now- he will patiently sit through it all where he doesn't for every book. His favorite part is the end where there is a little mirror he can look at himself in. I definitely recommend this as a early first book.
This is a surprising and offbeat little book for those looking for something a little different. Well made and durable and excellent for inquisitive minds. Don't worry about the Warhol factor - there's nothing weird about it. Just colorful, fun and whimsical.
This is a wonderful, interesting, and lovely children's board book. Warhol's drawings are simple, yet interesting enough to start a basic conversation with toddlers/preschoolers. And how cool that my son now recognizes famous art pieces?!
