appreciate the fine art contained within the pages. Although there are hidden faces to be found within the work that elementary students may find appealing, there is not enough of such sections to hold their interests. I feel that in an elementary classroom, this book would be best utilized by an art teacher who will educate the students about Seurat and his work.
