Henri Matisse created some of his most exquisite works by cutting
shapes out of paper. Delightfully entertaining and playfully
inventive, his "drawings with scissors" are also a superb
introduction to the most basic artistic concepts: color, line, and
form. This engaging and accessible look at Matisse's cut-outs,
arguably the highlight of his magnificent career, follows the
artist as he goes in search of pure forms of expression.
Illustrated with beautiful reproductions of Matisse's most famous
works, the book relates an imaginary tale about how the colors and
shapes created by Matisse come to life, carrying the reader off
into the artist's fantasy world. It reflects Matisse's spontaneity,
his love of bold colors, and his seemingly effortless ability to
capture movement on paper, which make him an artist of great appeal
to children. Fun and easy-to-follow, this exploration of Matisse's
cut-outs invites children of all ages to draw with scissors just
like the artist, using the sheets of paper printed in
Matisse-inspired colors included in the book.
Down where worms wriggle and microbes squirm, there's a whole world
waiting to be discovered... Under Your Feet delves beneath the
Earth's surface and explores the diverse wonders hidden there.
Encounter creatures of the deep and marvel at the mind-boggling
size of the humongous fungus - the biggest organism in the world.
Learn how one handful of ordinary soil contains more organisms than
there are people on Earth, and carry out experiments using dirt
from your own back garden. Under Your Feet offers you the
opportunity to expand your knowledge of the natural world and
soil-dwelling creatures big and small. Bursting with colourful
illustrations and photography, this is the perfect book for budding
young plant experts, animal fanatics, and geologists, and anyone
who is curious about the ground we walk on.
In The Cosmic Carrot, a young boy, Mitch, gets back on track to
vibrant health and clear vision with the help of friends and a
dedicated eye doctor. Robert Grand's debut picture book combines
its engaging narrative with rhyming verses and beautiful ink and
water color illustrations. Parents appreciate their children
learning powerful life lessons about resilience as Mitch conquers
his need for thick glasses with orthokeratology, a non-surgical
procedure to improve his vision recommended by his eye doctor. In
addition, Mitch learns about the power of organic fruits and
vegetables to calm his allergic sensitivities, which fosters
awareness of the benefits of good eating habits and clear distance
vision in young readers.
