From circles and squares to arches and stars, Museum Shapes introduces children to basic and complex shapes through The Metropolitan Museums extensive and varied collections of art. Each shape has two spreads devoted to it; the first spread asks what shape a certain object is in a chosen piece of art. Once the child has the answer, he or she can turn the page to verify the answer. Information about each piece of art and its creator appears in the back of the book. While children discover different shapes, adults will appreciate the aesthetic value and cultural richness of this glorious book, which features the works of a diverse range of artists including Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
