I Like Art By J Timothy Quirk

First in a series of books for early childhood reading by J Timothy Quirk


This is the first in the series of books designed to assist children in their reading development.  "I LIKE ART", was the first book I created to assist my daughter in recognizing some sight words. It was from this one book that all of the other books were created. The pictures are  large, the story is simple and the words are used in a fun way.

An art museum that looks like a castle in the middle of a large city is a concept that captured my family's imagination. Fortunately there is such a place for the castle-like art museum is based on the Wadsworth Antheneum in Hartford, Connecticut. None of the art depicted in this little book actually represents any of the art inside, so I do recommend a trip to the Wadsworth-you'll see some amazing works!  For the pretend pieces of art in the museum, I depicted a chair that is actually a chair in our dining room, the Mark Twain house (if it were partially yellow) and the Silas Bronson Library in Waterbury, Connecticut.

This was the first book and the dinosaur did not appear in it. The dinosaur appeared in the second book and in most of the subsequent ones.

We hope you and your child enjoys reading this book. We also hope you will share this book and the joy of reading with others. Please send us an email or comment as we would love to receive your feedback!
