Format: Hardcover book (8 ¾”x10”) 32 pages. Bilingual Journey’s Age Recommendations: from 3 to 10 years Country of origin: Spain Description: This is the second in a series of books about the adventures of a young girl named Carlota. Every time she visits a museum with her grandmother, Carlota enters famous pictures at will, and interacts with the characters and events in the paintings. Several famous works of art are presented in each of the books. A brief biography of the artists presented is included at the end of the book. In this book, 5 paintings by Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Edgar Degas are featured. Our comments: These books are a perfect way to introduce your child to art and art museums, and are ideal to read before and after a trip to a museum. They fill the child with a sense of magic, believing that this type of adventure might happen to them as well. At the same time they are laughing at Carlota’s adventures and misadventures (she is always getting into trouble with the characters from the paintings), they are learning about different types of art and various famous pictures. For the family who wants to pass on a love of art to their children, the Carlota series is an incredible resource. |
