I bought the Art Fraud Detective book because I homeschool my two daughters. My oldest daughter needs to take a fine arts class. This book is a fun and interesting way to learn about artist and their paintings in a non boring way for kids. I would purchase more books that have this kind of learning format.

My 12 year old daughter was not excited about having to learn about art. It's just not her thing. I am so happy to have found this book because she loves detective stuff, so searching for missing items and finding who done it has been a blast for her. She knows she's learning but is okay with that because it's fun. I am going to buy the other books in this series. Would highly recommend this book.

My 2nd grade daughter loves it. I did the first several "picture hunts" with her and since then she's been "working" on her own and commented several times on how much she's enjoying it. An easy way to expose your child to more art and learn good observation skills too.
