123s of Art

Learn numbers through fine art!

Spark your child’s creativity and curiosity with this delightfully curated counting book featuring some of the world’s most iconic paintings.
 
In this collection, your child will discover artwork by Gustav Klimt, Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Maria Sibylla Merian, and many others. Help them count the flower petals in Gauguin’s Still Life with Teapot and Fruit, teach them different colors while examining Redon's Butterflies, and discuss the shapes used in Sarah Ann Wilson’s Album Quilt.
 
With a fun rhyming scheme and large, colorful text, 123s of Art will inspire your budding art lovers as they learn to count to 20 by locating objects in paintings. Then, as your child grows, you can read the playful poems aloud together and answer the interactive questions that accompany each painting.
