What happens when the assumptions and practices of museum curators and art educators intersect with the assumptions and practices of publishing for children? This study explores how over three hundred children's picture books, most of them published in the last three decades in English, introduce children to art and art museums. It considers how the books emerge from and relate to a range of theories and assumptions about childhood and childhood development, children's literature and culture, illustration, visual art, museology, and art education. As well as examining how these theories and assumptions influence what picture books teach young readers about visiting museums and about how to look at and think about art, it examines which artists and artworks appear most often in picture books and offers a survey of different kinds of art-related picture books: ones that claim to be purely informational, ones that make looking at art a game or a puzzle, ones in which children visit art museums, and many more. Since the books all include reproductions of or allusions to museum artworks, the study also considers the problems illustrators face in depicting museum artworks in illustrations in a different style.
A majestic picture book based on the Bee Gees's classic love song "How deep is your love? I really mean to learn 'Cause we're living in a world of fools Breaking us down When they all should let us be We belong to you and me . . ." How Deep Is Your Love is a fantastical picture book based on one of the Bee Gees's biggest hits. The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart, remaining in the top ten for seventeen weeks, and won the band's first of eight GRAMMY awards. With lyrics by the Bee Gees and illustrations by J.L. Meyer, the picture book tells the tale of two bunny mermaids who meet on a rock and descend into the water together. As the bunnies escape traps, skirt around nets and hooks, and protect each other in this thrilling adventure, they realize how deep their love is. Meyer's imaginative story compliments the hit song perfectly and will delight children and adults alike.
