(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jos. A. Smith. The story credits Monet's young son's enthusiasm for steam trains as inspiration for the artist's series of paintings done at the Gare Saint-Lazare in Paris. Maltbie's text (with invented dialogue) gives background on Impressionism while Smith's textured paintings effectively depict the setting. Author's and illustrator's notes and a list of museums that house Monet's works are appended. Bib., ind.
