Illustrated by
Annabelle von Sperber.
In this large-scale chronological survey of (almost exclusively Western) art history, one or two simple sentences ("Do you love painting animals?"; "Study, paint and invent!") sit atop each of twelve spreads intricately illustrated in a style reflecting the featured place and time. An appended explanatory paragraph, which should have gone up front, encourages readers to look for "two cheeky monkeys" in every spread. Additional information on each art style is also appended.
