Squeaking of Art: The Mice Go to the Museum

32 pp. | Dutton | April, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-525-46165-5 $$15.99
(4) K-3 Ten mice visit an imaginary museum filled with paintings "inspired" by real-life masterpieces, which are identified at the end of the book. As the mice view the thematically grouped artwork, they comment simply on what they see ("That fruit looks yummy"). The bright gouache illustrations are engaging; and though the dialogue is uninspired, it does provide an accessible model for talking about and appreciating fine art.
