Look Again! Reviews

'Great for prompting discussion' - Junior Education
'An excellent book to share with young children but also fascinating for teens to explore independently. Not only is it an introduction to art but also to the skills of discussion and critical appreciation ... suitable for Key Stages 1-3 and for use in a variety of contexts' - The School Librarian
