Five Picasso sculptures are gradually revealed through a series of photographs. For each sculpture, three pictures show different parts; the fourth reveals the whole work. The captionlike text (the font is a little hard to read) offers guesses until the final image. Young viewers can gain an imaginative, if abstract, appreciation of the artist's compositions.

Invited to guess what they see when looking at close-up sections of five paper collages by Matisse, viewers are provided with some imaginative possibilities before the revelation of a fuller image with an exclamatory "Oooh!" The design is bold, but a thick typeface that imitates cut-out letters will be hard for some kids to read. Information on Matisse would have enhanced the volume.
