Bob Raczka's More Than Meets The Eye: Seeing Art With All Five Senses (0761327975) is a top pick for any elementary- grade library seeking quality, lasting art titles: here, it's explained art can be tasted, heard, and even smelled! Chapters advise on how to let the picture capture imagination and revitalize the senses of vision, with plenty of fine art examples throughout showing just how it can work. Grandma Hekmatt Remembers by Ann Morris (0761328645) joins others in the 'What Was it Like, Grandma?' series: this presenting an Arab-American family story. Three New Jersey Arab- American girls learn about the Arab country of Egypt, which they will soon visit, and life there through Grandma Hekmatt's memories and teachings. Both vintage old country photos and modern family photos by Peter Linenthal provide a focus on the children's perspectives and Arab cultural experiences.
