(3) K-3 Illustrated by Rosalinde Bonnet. Oscar discovers he's not skilled at creating art, but he develops a passion for collecting it. As he grows up, his collection expands until a museum is built to house it. Wahl promotes art appreciation for young children without didacticism (technical vocabulary--etching, woodcut--may need explanation). Bonnet's illustrations mimic an array of stylistic movements within Oscar's framed pictures.
