I was never a Monet fan until I saw the real thing at MOMA. I had no idea how large and how beautiful his water lilies were, until that moment in time. This book follows a little fox who hangs out in Monet’s garden and wonders how he can keep the colors of summer all season long. After spying the artist at work, the fox takes up painting. The story is nice and a tale, not a history. The art work is okay, part of me wishes the fox was walking in Monet’s work, or that information on the artist Monet and a sample of his work was included. Because otherwise, why mention Monet at all. Why can it not be some random artist. A nice book, but I don’t think it will be a buzzed about book.
