Industry Reviews

"Just as a graphic-novel presentation may ease a young reader's access to the eldritch world of Poe, so art books for children use informality to make fine art accessible to the potential young connoisseur. . . . In the picture book 'Masterpiece Mix', Roxie Munro achieves this effect by setting great paintings amid her own cartoon-style drawing."--The Wall Street Journal

"A handsome and satisfying companion to Market Maze."--Kirkus Reviews

"This simple story covering the basics of painting and drawing--materials, subject matter, and art history--can be absorbed in a few minutes by preschoolers, but the searching game and the intricacy of the artwork lend themselves to more thorough investigation by older children . . . a versatile introduction to fine art for elementary schoolers."--School Library Journal
