Racza encourages children to open their eyes to paintings, but also to experience art imaginatively with their mouths, ears, noses and fingertips. Arranged thematically by the senses, the pictures represent things to taste (Thiebaud's Cakes), to hear (Tanner's The Banjo Lesson), to smell (Wyeth's Portrait of Pig), to feel (Rivera's The Tortilla Maker) and to see (Close's Self-Portrait). Racza's short, rhyming text gives structure to the book and the vivid colour reproductions steal the show. This art book rests on a simple concept, beautifully executed.
