Designed to expand and inspire young minds; this is a range of short educational books for ages 7+. Although one great artist's life and work are always the central theme, wider learning is encouraged:
- Geography & History
Locations or events are always accompanied by a colorful map or a snippet of history.
- Vocabulary
A manageable number of new words are introduced and reused; always in bold with clear definitions and pronunciations. There is also a Glossary.
- Math
At least one math statement and its accompanying calculation is always included.
- Concentration
Each book is in the friendly first person. A trail of footprints leads to a cartoon animal at the end. Questions are asked of the young reader and there is always a quiz. These features keep children engaged and encourage them to form their own opinions. There is a high ratio of images to text.
