Does your child love art? Are you looking for a way to introduce the art-viewing experiences to your toddler, preschooler or young child? Keep in mind, the illustrations in these books are art too! I was so excited to receive the book Dress Up in the mail from Home Grown Books (while I did receive the book for free, all opinions are my own). After paging through this awesomely artsy board book I couldn’t help but add it to my list of gifting favorites. If you’re not sure which books to put under the tree (or stuff in a stocking) this holiday season, check out what ‘Dress Up’ is all about and some of these other top picks!

Dress Up, by
Kyla Ryman, artwork by Cecile Dyer
Originally
published as part of The Play Set from Home Grown Books, Dress Up is a
creatively cute easy read with imaginatively artistic pictures (courtesy of
Brooklyn-based artist Cecile Dyer). Cats play ‘dress up’ with accessories,
accompanied by a word on each page for the item. Simple enough for babies and toddlers
to take on, with illustrations that will still interest preschoolers.
When Pigasso Met Mootisse by Nina Laden
This is one
that I’ve read something like a million (ok, that’s a bit of an exaggeration) times
while teaching children’s art classes. Not only is it an intro to some famous
artists (in animal form), but it also teaches about getting along with others
and accepting different opinions.
You Can’t Take a Balloon into the Metropolitan Museum by Jacqueline Preiss Weitzman,
illustrations by Robin Preiss Glasser
Take a trip
through NYC, and some famous artworks, in this wordless book.
Snowballs by
Lois Ehlert
The found
object collages make easy work for your child when she wants to identify the
natural items in this winter-themed book.
Brown Bear,Brown Bear, What Do You See? By Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle
Animals and
colors make this pick perfect for kids who are just learning the basics.
Dream Snow
by Eric Carle
A Christmas
book for Christmas time! Carle’s collage-like style interest’s the child’s eye,
adding vivid visuals.
Babar’s Museum of Art by Laurent De Brunhoff
Who doesn’t
absolutely love Babar? The adorable elephant book features some of the most
famous works of art – all elephant style. I love this one for young children.
It gently introduces them to the world of art, through the eyes of a favorite
character.
Art Dog by
Thatcher Hurd
An art heist
at the Dogopolis Museum of Art is the focus of this oh-so-cute story. With
imaginative illustrations, this read tells a tale that will interest kids in
preschool through the early grade school years.
Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak
Chances are
that this was one of your childhood favorites too. It’s a classic for a reason!
The detailed illustrations jump off the page, making it an amazing entry into
the idea of ‘viewing’ art.
The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats
I remember
my mom reading this to me as a child. And, I certainly remember the hundreds of
times that I read it to my own child. The bold pictures turn a winter’s snow
into a can’t-miss children’s book.
So, now that
you have a few choices—what’s next? Take some time to look at the pictures with
your child. Point to them, ask your child what she sees and encourage her to
tell you what she thinks is going on. This can help her to figure out the
story, even if she isn’t able to read the words quite yet. Why do this? It
helps to build her budding early literacy skills and lets her see that art is
all around us!

The very next time I read a blog, I hope that it won’t disappoint me as much as this one. After all, I know it was my choice to read, however I genuinely thought you’d have something useful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you can fix if you weren’t too busy searching for attention. game light
