What a fun idea. The author took classical Monet pictures and strung them together with words to make a simple children's story. A great way to introduce beautiful art to the very young.

Good exposure to paintings by Monet accompanied by a story to tie them together. Other books in the series include "Dancing with Degas".

Can't fault the art, it's a great way to introduce kids to Monet.
And the text... well, I can take it or leave it. It sounds trite to my ears, though, so I prefer to leave it.
The really bad part about these books is that they're cheaply made. I've had them fall apart on me while other books that we've had longer and that we read more often are in great shape.
You can't have a poor-quality board book, it just doesn't work.
I can't in good conscience recommend these books to anybody because of that.

Beautiful art for little ones to enjoy!
