Gr 4-8-A clever "spot the difference" book that also serves as a good introduction to art history. Using a comic-strip format, Nilsen alerts readers to the fact that 30 of these 34 paintings are fakes. A double spread identifies the 16 suspected forgers, the symbol their particular gang hides on each forgery, and the number of changes (one to four) they deliberately added to each painting. The premise is to figure out which character forged which classic piece, and to determine which one of them snitched. The paintings, which include Georges Seurat's Bathers at Asnires and Vincent van Gogh's Sunflowers, are ingeniously depicted in their original and altered forms on split pages featuring the forgeries above and the museum catalog below. Readers are supposed to match up the forger with the artwork (a magnifying glass enables them to verify their detective work). The catalog pages briefly describe the artists' lives, their work, and the showcased piece. This approach should prove popular; it's something of a Where's Waldo (Candlewick) for older children. Although the paintings date from the 15th to the 20th century, no American artwork is presented.-Carol Fazioli, formerly at The Brearley School, New York City (c) Copyright 2010.

An opening cartoon strip sets up the premise: thirty paintings at a museum have been stolen and replaced by forgeries. Using a magnifying strip that is included with the book and the museum catalog, the reader must identify which pictures are genuine and which are fakes. Information about the paintings (by artists such as Van Gogh, Monet, and Rembrandt) is included in the busy pages, giving this spot-the-differences book an educational aspect. Glos.

Gr. 4^-6. Children who like hunting for small differences in detailed pictures may enjoy this large-format book, produced in association with England's National Gallery. In the framework story, a security guard at "the Museum of Art," which happens to have a fine collection of 34 European masterpieces, asks young readers to play detective. He has just received a call telling him that 30 of these works are fakes. By closely comparing the museum's paintings with pictures of the originals, readers can discover which are real and (since each forger leaves a distinctive trademark) who made each forgery. The reproduction of the paintings is excellent, and the paragraphs of information about the paintings, by artists such as Botticelli, Holbein, da Vinci, Picasso, Turner, and van Gogh, are well-written and entertaining. It remains to be seen, though, whether children will have the patience to match both versions of the painting, search for the tiny clues, and draw conclusions about the forgers. Still, an original effort in art appreciation. --Carolyn Phelan
