The Starry Night

(4) K-3 In a fantasy, a young boy shows Vincent van Gogh around his hometown of New York. Pen and ink illustrations are augmented with paintings of the Big Apple that mimic Van Gogh's style. Before mysteriously disappearing, Vincent takes Bernard to the Museum of Modern Art, inspiring him to begin drawing. Though predictable and somewhat thin, the story may speak to budding artists.
