Where Is the Frog?: A Children's Book Inspired by Claude Monet

24 pp. | Prestel | April, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-3-7913-7139-9 $14.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Stéphane Girel. A frog in a Giverny garden pond is determined to find her way into one of Mister Claude's paintings. But when she finally triumphs, the painting falls into the water. The awkwardly written story does little to introduce Monet's work, but the pretty landscapes nicely embody his style. Reproductions of eight Monet water lily paintings and contextual and biographical information are appended.
