Tell Me a Picture by Quentin Blake
Quentin Blake has chosen twenty-six famous paintings and drawings and then added his own drawings of a lively family whose comments help the reader notice what's special about each work of art.Children's Book Of The Week
"Reissued for a new generation, this classic has lost none of its power"
"The children’s art criticism is engagingly artless but encourages curiosity."
"An unusual and stimulating approach to art."
"As the first Children’s Laureate, Quentin Blake created an original exhibition in the National Gallery, London, for which he chose 26 of his favourite pictures. Some were illustrations from children’s books, others were pictures by artists such as Edward Hopper and Paula Rego. All were wonderful pictures that tell a story. Through Quentin Blake’s choices and his gentle notes about the pictures, all young readers have the opportunity to enjoy all kinds of art and to bring their own meaning to it."
"An unusual and stimulating approach to art."
