Children's Literature
Author Jean S. Tucker notes that a photograph "is at once a likeness and an interpretation...both a mirror image of what [the photographer] has seen and a window through which we see the world." Ms. Tucker asks open-ended questions about the dozen pictures she's selected to help children interpret the "framed" worlds. She also provides background information on the photos and the photographers to enhance the discussion that her questions stimulate. The full-page black-and-white and color portraits, of children alone or in groups, include Alfred Eisenstaedt's joyful "Drum Major with Children." Enjoying Art with Children, Exploring Landscape Art with Children, Animals in Art, Native American Art, and World of Play complete the series.1994, Lickle, Ages 8 up, $13.95. Reviewer: Beverly Kobrin
