"Flipping through the hardcover’s 40 pages is like getting a personal tour of one artist’s workshop"

"Here's a first: a children's picture book about lithography. Once toddlers have wrapped their tongues around that tricky 11-letter word, they will be charmed by Gaby Bazin's beautiful guide to this often overlooked craft. We meet the father of the artform, Alois Senefelder (looking frazzled, right), an 18th-century actor and engraver who experimented with stone-cutting, and learn how later artists have followed in his footsteps."
