(3) K-3 Illustrated by Lauren Child. Fra Angelico's angel Gabriel acts as docent to aspiring detective Dan on a tour of his local art museum. Along the way, young Dan gets an introduction to iconography and symbolism in a dozen paintings (primarily biblical and mythical subjects). Reproductions of the paintings appear against the backdrop of brightly colored museum walls, alongside cheerful cartoon-style museum goers.
