To revisit our study of Monet, I read aloud this picture book to my sons. Picture books are my favorite method to learn about a person, a historical event or a concept. Picture books permit the author/illustrator to focus on one aspect/event and delve deeply into it.
Ms. Danneberg focuses on one day when Monet was painting the giant stone arch, the Manneporte. Tiny fact boxes reveal additional interesting information. The author's note shares an overview of Monet and the beginnings of impression art. Two other pages zoom in on his painting techinques.
The artist, Ms. Heimerl, illustrates with an impressionistic style.
*Highly recommend.
