(4) K-3 After a young ballerina unintentionally switches bags with Monsieur Degas, she must dash about nineteenth-century Paris to find him. The story, contrived as it is, acts as an effective vehicle for readers to learn about Impressionism. Using elements of works by Degas, Monet, Cassatt, and others, Montanari's illustrations provide a creative introduction to an artistic movement.
