Learn about Great Works of Art without knowing you're learning.
A little picture and story paperback that informs
young readers about famous works of art
without being academic. Great!

great book
I bought this book because we are going to Paris this summer and we are trying to get our 4 year old excited about the trip. She can't wait to go see the real Mona Lisa. These books are a great way to get small children interested in art.
