The Magical Garden of Claude Monet (Anholt's Artists)

was apresent for my grandchild

Bought two titles from this series for twin sisters. My own children loved these books, which really added to their love of art - one daughter is now a professional designer/artist. These books would have been perfect had it not been for one of the books being badly creased and leaving me having to start again looking for a gift that day. .Returning both

I teach a Year 3 class (ages 7/8 years) and this book was a lovely accompaniment to my class's exploration of Monet's art. They loved spotting the art that they were already familiar with in the pages of the book and they enjoyed the idea of meeting the artist in person, it really brought him to life for them. There is a whole series of books based on the idea of the children who knew the real life artists and it's a lovely introduction to famous artists for young readers and/or artists. I'll be looking out for the other books in the series.

A lovely book with lots of information and pictures.beautifully ilustrated.am very happy with all my orders from wordery,would highly reccomend this seller,alway the quickest with the order deliveries and every book i have ordered has been exactly as they said it would be.excellent.

I love these books, they are a great way to inspire children and interest them in art and artists. I have read them with my own children and used them in school with children from nursery age to year 4 (3-9 yrs).

This is a nice idea to encourage young children to take an interest in the visual world, and an early introduction to the Impressionists. Problem is that Anholt's sub-Monet illustrations are a bit on the feeble side compared with the real thing, and I wonder whether the publishers might have done better to use real Monet reproductions and just retain Anholt's text.Still, let's not nitpick. This is an imaginative, laudable book that will appeal to the young reader.

good introduction the the woks of Monet

A beautiful book to share with children and introduce them to a key artist.
