A groundbreaking study of animals through the rare sketches of the legendary artist Pablo Picasso
Pablo Picasso's masterful drawings teach young readers to recognize animals in this artful, loud board book. Birds & Other Animals takes children on a journey through Picasso's single-line drawings, starting and ending with various types of birds.
Pablo Picasso was one of the most important artists of the twentieth century as well as a co-creator of Cubism. He produced over 50,000 paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, and ceramics throughout his life, and his work continues to be among the most exhibited and collected in the world.
The clever and whimsical charm of Picasso's sketches is accompanied by witty text that can be used to spark discussions, through which children will not only broaden their visual definitions of which animals are which but will also become familiar with the fine arts.
Each title in this series of must-have reading art boards uses masterpieces from famous artists to teach one of the top early learning concepts for toddlers. Each concept is playfully explored through a curated selection of beautifully reproduced artwork, while the accompanying text enriches the experience with witty, conversational commentary and a text 'about the artist.' The accompanying books in this series feature the art of Henri Matisse, Ellsworth Kelly, Alexander Calder, and Josef Albers.
