Books with author Margaret Hyde

The striking, vibrant paintings of Picasso are perfect for engaging developing minds while fostering children's love of art. In this board book, Picasso's experimentation with geometry in cubist masterpieces such as Head and Woman with a Blue Beret and Fur Collar are showcased in full-color reproductions alongside seven other works depicting families, children, and circus scenes. Picasso is only one artist represented in the six-book series entitled Great Art for Kids. Stressing the value of art appreciation, the series provides artistic pieces in a toddler-friendly board-book format. A parents' guide in the back of the book provides interesting facts about the artist's life and works, as well as projects for child prodigies.
