Customer Reviews

wonderful intro to fine art for children!

I really enjoyed this book when I found it in my children's school library. I've recommended it to many parents. My kids really liked it too and it has changed the way they look at art museums. We're always on the lookout for one of the paintings featured in the book. Unfortunately it's out of print. I think it would make a great gift for kids who haven't yet been turned on to the beauty of old masters!

A Great Introduction to Art for Young Readers

My six year old daughter checked out The Girl With a Watering Can from her school library. What a wonderful introduction to the world of art it was! She sat captivated as I read her the story of the little girl who ran from room to room causing havoc among master works of art. At the same time, she gained exposure to some wonderful works of art, such as Renoir's Girl with a Hoop and Manet's Gare Saint-Lazare. The author has found a most unique and engaging way to introduce children to the world of classic art.
