From the Editors

<DIV><DIV><DIV>It’s pop, <I>with a twist</I>—a fun collection of works by such 20th century masters as Warhol, Lichtenstein, and Hockney that turns the art world into a fingertip sensation. What could be better than pulling on the lettuce in Claes Oldenburg’s Two Burgers with Everything? Or stroking the fluffy eyelashes on Warhol’s pink-toned Marilyn? It’s an experience kids will never forget.</DIV></DIV></DIV>
Product Description

Customer Response

Warhol's Top
I would not buy this item, without having it in your hand first to look at. There is a page in the book, called Mustard on White, which is supposed to be a little sticky. When I first opened the book, there was a piece of paper stuck to the mustard, or "sticky" part. It was very difficult removing the paper and in fact in doing so, ripped some of the page. I was very upset there wasn't a different method used to keep the pages from sticking together. So if you are in a bookstore and have the book in your hand, I would see if that piece of paper will remove rather easy from the page I am referring to. The book is great other than that!

LOVE this book!
My one year old daughter LOVES this book, and, as a lover of pop art, so do I! The big, bold illustrations are great, and the things to touch and feel on each page are perfect (Marilyn's eyelashes, and Lichtenstein's sticky mustard bread are the favorites in my house). The words are pretty lame, but we just make up our own to go along with it. I love that this book has different sensory objects than your usual fake fur and sand paper. Definitely recommend this book!

One little problem popping Warhol's top
This interactive book is fine and fun, with one little glitch. Warhol's soup can has a moveable lid that is one of the better features of all those in the book. The problem is that it is attached by a flimsy tag of cardboard, and if the child rotates the lid too many times (or in a complete 360) the lid breaks off entirely. I re-attached ours using a small grommet kit, but what a pain. So, buy the book ... but be careful not to completely pop Warhol's top!

A great series!
This was the first book I purchased for my nephew in the Touch the Art series. The collection of artwork is wonderful, and the "touch" parts of each page are different and ingenious. The problem I have with this book is that while the rhymes with each work are too silly and pandering for anyone but toddlers, some of the features are too fragile to last long with their little hands. For example, the first page is the Campbell's can on the cover, and the paper lid moves up and down. My nephew (14 months) sat on my lap to look at it, I showed him how it moved, and he effortlessly ripped it off.

A Great Book for Fun and Learning!
This is a fantastic way for children to learn about famous artwork in a fun and stimulating way! Each page has a piece of artwork and a fun way to learn about it. I recommend this series of books for children of all ages! Parents will enjoy reading and children will have fun learning. This series makes a great gift!
