This book looks at how some artists play tricks with the viewer and confuse us with their fascinating optical illusions. This book will help students discover and understand the world of illusion art and inspire them to create their own optical illusions. Grade 3-6–While the authors give some background about the art forms featured in these volumes, the focus is really on what it takes to have a career in any of these fields. The format will appeal to reluctant readers; information is presented in simple paragraphs with helpful headings, along with plenty of interesting color illustrations. Sidebars about real-life practitioners and Try it yourself activities are included. Illusion Art seems to be the least practical of the four titles, yet perhaps the most interesting for general browsing or use by kids who love to draw and want to create something to impress their friends. Design does a nice job of showing how computer-aided design works in places such as the automobile and aviation industries. And what kid doesn't dream of creating the coolest graphic novel ever, or of becoming an animator on the next Pixar project? These books would be useful in most career sections.– Tim Wadham, Maricopa County Library District, Phoenix, AZ Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
