I think it was cute for parents of the child, but not really worth purchasing, I expectsd a graft project book. Waste of money.

Henri Matisse: Cut-Outs - Drawing with Scissors (2 Volumes Splip case)

by: Gilles Neret, Xavier-Gilles Neret
This is spectacular! Matisse JAZZ is an exacting replica that aims to reproduce the feeling of holding an original 1948 printing of his last great body of work. As an old man, Henri Matisse was too arthritic to hold paint brushes but could still push scissors through paper and indicate to his assistants where they should be glued down. This folio is such a close reproduction as to show the texture of the construction paper that he cut up,the subtle pencil marks he made, the variations of intensity in color from the gouache on paper.

A Magical Day with Matisse (Mini Masters)

by: Julie Merberg, Suzanne Bober
I love these series of books. My daughter instantly loved this book and she's only 15 mos. old. I started reading "In the garden with Van Gogh" when she was 6 mos. old. She loves them both now. The rhymes are very cute as well.
