Interactive text asks questions and prompts children to paint, photograph, search for instruments to play, and act out stories. Bright splashes of color bring each page to life and will be sure to grab and keep readers' attention. The large, bold text makes this <strong>a great title for emerging readers and for shared reading</strong>. Following the main text comes a list of ideas that will have kids using their imaginations to produce their own artwork. A glossary, list of suggested reading, and index round out this solid addition to nonfiction collections.--<em>Booklist</em></p>-- "Journal" (10/15/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p>This cheerful, simple informational text about art, in its many forms, presents familiar, beloved faces from Sesame Street who model the fun of being artists. Large, lively photographs of children and muppets alike accompany short text sections that identify different art forms, from visual arts to music to acting to dance, and introduce young listeners to basic definitions and recognizable tools. With upbeat declarations, this book <strong>encourages and highlights the many opportunities to use one's imagination</strong>. However, since few terms are supported by visual examples or full explanations, supplementary images, videos, or guided discussions may prove necessary to describe high vocabulary words, like orchestra and actors, to the target audience. In addition, references to popular art topics, such as the Museum of Modern Art and Claude Monet, may not spark connections. Following the main narrative, an 'Idea Studio' section includes six easy-to-do art activities best practiced at home. The book closes with a short glossary, brief index, and three-item list of suggested children's books for more in-depth exploration of arts subjects. These elements will prove too advanced for the primary target audience to read and comprehend. VERDICT Though not an essential purchase, this introductory book about art is best shared between adults and children who appreciate the familiar, trusted characters engaging in different modes of creativity.--<em>School Library Journal</em></p>-- "Journal" (10/2/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br>
