Linnea has been in Paris. And she has visited the painter Claude Monet’s garden! She even stood on the same little Japanese bridge that Monet painted so often in his pictures. In Paris, Linnea got to see many of the real paintings.
Now she can understand what it means to be called an Impressionist, and she knows a lot about Monet’s life in the pink house where he lived with his eight children.
Twenty-five years after its original publication, this celebration of the wonder of art is available once again in an enlarged keepsake edition. The joy and inspiration Linnea discovers in Monet’s garden will be eagerly embraced by a new generation of readers.
I remember this book from when I was a kid, and it is so cool that I can introduce it to my children. This book is a great introduction to art (especially since a lot of the public schools have cut art from the curriculum). Each section of the book is short and sweet so not to lose the attention of the reader. However, by the time you finish the book, you have a great understanding of Monet!
