Asian Art (Come Look With Me series), by Kimberly Lane


Rating: Additional
Charlesbridge, 2008, $15.95
ISBN: 978-1890674199
Age/Grade Level: Ages 9-12


Part of an art appreciation series for children, this Asian Art volume features twelve masterpieces from all parts of Asia. Each work of art is accompanied by its background and information about its creator. The book also features discussion questions for examining each piece and instructions on how to use the book. An interesting and educational read, it would make most sense as a companion to other books in the same series.
