Introduces painting and sculpture to young readers

Molly likes to visit the art museum because she always has so much fun. From the moment she arrives at the museum's great marble staircase, Molly begins a magical journey that transports her into the works of some of the world's greatest artists. She chases Constable's rainbow, dances with Degas' ballerina, doges Turner's train, plays guitar with Picasso's musicians, and even floats on Monet's lily pad. With the story and illustrations by Denise Bennett Minnerly and the text by poet and freelance writer Gladys Walker, Molly Meets Mona And Friends: A Magical Day In The Museum is an unusually effective collaboration that introduces painting and sculpture to young readers, and is a welcome addition to any school or community library children's picture book collection.

A child's exposure to great art can be an adventure!

Young boys and girls will find this day of adventure in an Art museum a visual delight! The children I read it to (I'm a school Media Specialist) were enthralled and their enthusiam generated curiosity about the artists. They checked out other art books. The Art teacher has her own copy for her young child and she loves it! I highly recommend MOLLY MEETS MONA AND FRIENDS for the young reader. It is a quality exposure to great art for the young artist or the future art lover.

A wonderful introduction to art & sculpture for children.

Molly chases Constable's rainbow, dances with Degas's ballerina, dodges Turner's train,plays guitar with Picasso's musicians, and floats on Monet's lily pad. This is a wonderful and fun way of introducing painting and sculpture into the lives of imaginative young readers
