Usborne art books

I bought these 2 art books from MPH (not at the same time)
and found them good to use as spine books to teach art appreciation.
.
.
Usborne Book of Art (red cover on the left)
and
Usborne Children's Book of Art (yellow cover on the right)
.
.
.
I am going to start with Children's Book of Art,
it introduces to 1 or 2 artists at a time,
as well as the styles or types of the paintings;
the words are big (beautiful font) and easily understood by children.
Rembrandt and Vermeer

Van Gogh and Gauguin

Book of Art will be followed by then;
it goes by time, from ancient to recent.
