Perusing through the Math titles in Picture Books at the library last week I found lots of books. Alas, most of them were, well, boring. Uninteresting. I brought a handful home to investigate and of those I found a few nice volumes including this one!

I love almost anything that is integrated with Art. (Well, almost anything.) My younger homeschool students are all artistically oriented and if I integrate a subject with Art I get smiles. I am doing just that with History this semester with happy results: I provide a workpage with a theme and examples to be created and colored artistically for each chapter of Seton's The Catholic Faith Comes to the Americas.

This is a simple Math book for young ones: from each famous painting the clever illustrator took one element and displayed it on the facing pages in different sizes, colors, and groups. By grouping the elements in different ways, young Math students have a peek into the world of addition, multiplication and beyond. On the side, they will enjoy a quick tour of the art world in chronological order and some cute rhymed lines as well!
