A Moment with Monet

Art history has never been this delightful. In , you get to go on a wild journey with Justine, Paris, and Manet, all students in Ms. Simone's art class. With the help of a magical and very silly word-wackadoey-the three kids zip away on the wings of imagination to France where they get to ask Claude Monet all about his paintings. Discover why Monet painted outside, chose to paint series of the same scenes over and over again, and what important lesson one of his teachers taught him. Learn about the Impressionist style of painting and how it got its name. But most of all-have fun and be inspired to find out what you want to create! Part of Sima Levy's Meet the Artist series, this book introduces kids to art history in a way that is as enjoyable as it is educational. Written in rhyme and illustrated throughout, this is a charming addition to any elementary school classroom or kid's bookshelf at home.
