Review: Great book-- the pictures in the preview don't do it justice! - I'm so impressed with this book and can't wait to use it with my Special Education class. The pictures in the preview were confusing, but I went ahead and bought a copy based on the good reviews. The concept is as follows: on the left side of each set of pages, there is a picture of a famous piece of art and a riddle, asking the reader to find x combinations that will make y (3 combinations that will make 7, 5 combinations that will make 10... that sort of thing). On the right side are several groups of objects from the artwork-- abstract eyeballs for Picasso, ballet slippers for Degas. The objects are arranged in sets of 1, 2, 3, 4, and so forth. From the sets available, the reader is able to find multiple combinations of objects to reach the goal number. I'm sure that's not any less confusing that the pictures... but it's really cute and will be great for improving addition skills and overall numerical fluency... well, and cultural exposure, too! I highly recommend this book!
Review: Cute book! - My 7 year old loves both Math and Art. I would highly recommend this book for kids who like either or even use it as a teacher gift!

My 7 year old loves both Math and Art. I would highly recommend this book for kids who like either or even use it as a teacher gift!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Informational for math, not so for art.
*by V***L on January 22, 2008*

Before reading the book and playing with it with my kids, I was going to give this a lower review, but despite my dissapointment for having little value teaching about artwork, it's a great book. There is so much math in many masterpieces and it would be amazing to have a book that used different great pieces to illustrate this (for instance, patterns, which is a grade 1/2 math lesson is easily taught using Mondrian). This book does not do this at all, in fact, the artwork is just pretty backdrop to the math learning and grouping. So, I guess my bone to pick is the illusion that the reviews gave that this taught something about art, it doesn't, but it is a neat formula to teach math.
