Philippe in Monet's Garden

24 pp. | Museum | October, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-87846-456-5 $$10.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lisa Canney Chesaux. A forced, rhyming text tells a brief, silly story about how the French frog Philippe escapes the frog catchers who want his large legs to sell to a restaurant. He is safe in Monet's garden, where the painter wants only to paint--not eat--him. Cartoon-style paintings with undulating outlines fit the humorous tone, and the story introduces Monet informally.
