Her eyes are wide open and took her breath away!!

What a book! I was reading this book to my daughter (7 years old), when she was listening the part of when Tom tried to touch the apple in Cezanne's painting and it moved, her eyes are wide open and took her breath away. (I felt that way too.) Tom kept touching his uncle's painting and finaly Renbrandt will move out from the portrait. Mark Strand's story is bizarre and thrilled. It made our heart pounded with expectation, "What's gonna happen next?" Also Red Grooms's powerful illustrations help us to get excited. This is one of the best picture books for kids 4-8. Highly recommended.

Art Student Review

This book was one of the first times I was exposed to Red Groom's work. As a child I felt there was something special about this book and kept it in the living room with my parent's coffeetable books. Now I'm in my thrid year of art school and have a new appreciation of Red Groom's clever illustrations.

Excellent!

Wonderful kids' book, especially as an introduction to works of art
