Spot a Cat

by Lucy Micklethwait

Playing a game of spot the cat is the perfect way to encourage young children to look closely at paintings. While hunting for cats, they can also discover and discuss all the different objects, colors, shapes, and patterns they see, and so take their first steps toward a lasting appreciation of art.

Oh! regarde le gros chat! Petit chat, où es-tu? Regarde le chat: il a peur! Voilà un chat heureux!

Grâce à un choix judicieux de tableaux, Lucy Micklethwait suscite chez les enfants un vrai plaisir et une réelle curiosité pour l'art. Chercher le chat caché dans chaque image, c'est d'abord un jeu. C'est aussi l'occasion de porter pour la première fois un oeil attentif aux tableaux et de découvrir tout un univers de couleurs, de formes, de lumières et de compositions.

An assortment of masterpieces featuring cats, with minimal text guiding readers to find the cat within the paintings. The small format makes it difficult to share with a group of more than about 5 kids, but it exposes readers to a wide range of artists and styles. Some of the cats are much easier to find than others.

Buku ini lebih tepat disebut sebagai buku kumpulan lukisan yang memuat kucing daripada buku cerita bergambar. Lukisan dengan berbagai aliran ada di sini. Cocok untuk main tebak gambar dengan anak jika membaca buku ini.

This is a really cool concept and I enjoy it a lot. It varies between difficult-to-find and east-to-find. It's not a super great introduction to art or whatever, but that doesn't matter because I would think it's more about exposure. Just a cool book/series.

An interesting art book for preschoolers, especially children who like cats.
