Customer Reviews

Daughter wants to read 3 times in a row!

Only bk that 2-yr old wants to read 3 times in a row! We love it too! Very peaceful and calming and soothing pictures...

Teach about fine art in a fun and enjoyable way.

These are great books. We purchased our first book, Picnic with Monet when my daughter was a newborn. She is now 20 months old and she has the Mini Masters Boxed Set (a great deal) and Quiet Time With Cassat. She loves these books! She will bring them to me one-by-one and ask me to read each one over and over. I think she enjoys the lyrical quality of the text as well as the paintings. She loves pointing out the different items in each painting and commenting on what is taking place (playing, sleeping, dancing, etc.) It's interesting that even though some elements in certain paintings are rather abstract, she still knows what she is looking at. I love fine art and grew up seeing many of these paintings, so I'm glad that I can expose my daughter to the Masters in such a fun and positive way.

One of the best

I think this book is one of the best of Julie Merberg's masters series. The art is just gorgeous and every single one contains a child or children, most with a parent, so kids will probably be drawn to this one. My 2 1/2 yr old daughter loves it and loves looking at all the paintings of children. Sweet portraits and great writing! One of my personal favorites.

Beautiful pictures

My 2 year old daughter loves this book (and all the other ones in this series). She will go to her bookshelf at bedtime and pick this one. I like looking at the pictures too! Hopefully when we visit museums in the future she will appreciate the paintings she sees due to the wonderful stories created to accompany the paintings.

Wonderful!

My six month old loves this book, and it doesn't show any signs of becoming passe. The color reproductions of Cassatt's work are wonderful!
