This sticker book contains more than 40 miniature color reproductions of famous paintings from around the world, specially chosen to appeal to children. Twenty-five paintings are on repositionable stickers that peel off the sticker pages in the middle of the book to fill empty frames on the walls of the sticker gallery. The rest are preprinted in position. A "puzzle" clue inside each empty frame helps the child choose the right sticker, and alongside every miniature reproduction, there is a brief entry that provides simple information about the artist and painting. Carole Armstrong is the author of All My Own Work.
