Amazon.com
The scope of this delightful book encompasses history, painting, 16th-century construction techniques, the conditions of workers, and the biblical story of the Tower of Babel--designed to reach up to heaven but doomed to chaos. Pieter Bruegel painted two colorful, intricate, and mesmerizing versions of the tower (this book shows both but focuses on just one in depth) and set them in his seaside hometown of Antwerp, Belgium. Subtitled The Builder with the Red Hat, this picture book circles in on a close-up of a tiny image--a man gesturing toward a building stone--and spins a tale about the construction site as if this tiny fellow were telling the story. It's a charming device, and the text is written with great sensitivity to a child's interests and listening ability. The style is conversational: "We should take a closer look"; "Let us ask the man wearing the red cap and the apron"; "I'm sure you can imagine how heavy the stone is that the worker is carrying on his back down the hill. Let's follow him...." The language in the book is not overly simplified; "devices," "incorporated," or "extravaganza" would need explanation. But even for a 2- or 3-year-old, there are many pleasures to be had just from gazing into the pictures. This is just one title in a promising new series from Prestel called Adventures in Art. --Peggy Moorman
From Kirkus Reviews
That paintings provide windows into an artist's emotional and historical worlds becomes clear in this thoughtful entry in the Adventures in Art series, focused on Pieter Bruegel's Tower of Babel. Readers gain a tour of Antwerp in the 1560s (as depicted in the painting); in the voice of a little builder wearing a red cap (who is present in the lower left corner of the painting), Jockel explains the significance of some of the details. He points out the jugs and baskets that were the era's lunch boxes, explains the building procedures shown (the cutting of huge blocks of stone, the mixing of the mortar, the operation of a wooden crane). The story of the Tower of Babel is recounted; readers are invited to compare this version of Bruegel's vision with another he did on the same subject, as well as with those of other artists who came before and after him. The clear reproductions include the welcome enlargements of many details. Such concentrated attention on one work is rare even in art books for adults; libraries will want to snap up this lucid interrogation of Bruegel's masterpiece.

My 1st Graders loved it!
22. April 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I can't say this about many art history books: most of them are either dopey and cute or way over their heads. They loved this one, and so did I! I has lots of interesting details about Bruegel and his time. Lots of good reproductions. The man in the red hat hook works pretty well. I read it to them, but they've been re-reading it to themselves for the past few weeks. Highly recommended!
