Praise for the How Artists See series: "Carroll's series...eclipses the competition...How Artists See has the makings of a classic--a core experience for budding art enthusiasts to build on." -- Publishers Weekly "Wow! If you have been looking for a way to get children interested in art, call off the search, it just doesn't get any better than this." -- Children's Literature Choice List "...These are first-rate art appreciation guides for adults and young children together, or older readers alone." -- Children's Literature Review "With wonderful symmetry and utter simplicity, each volume presents sixteen works of art [that] capture the feeling of seeing works of art in a museum. The text reads as the dialogue a child and adult might have as they stroll through a museum gallery. These books hold treasures for the eyes, heart, and mind." - Hungry Minds
