My daughter is 17 months old and loves this series of books. The artwork is representative of the original work and the words do a great job of telling a story for each picture in a descriptive way without "squashing creativity" for the reader.
This book not only features Monet's beautiful paintings but the words are far above the quality usual found in children's books. It is enjoyable for adults as they share the artistic experience with their children. My eight month old baby loves it. It is one of her favorite books. I'm sure older children would appreciate it too. It's one of those books that parents won't mind reading again and again.
Our 7 month old daughter loves the books in this series and gets very excited when we get ready to read them to her. I can only recommend these to anyone that wants to introduce their kids to art in a fun and exciting way. The poems that accompany each picture are fun and relate to each painting, which also helps expand their vocabulary.
My friend bought four of Julie Merberg's books for my daughter when she turned one. I love all of the ones she bought, but this one is my favorite. I love Claude Monet and the pictures in this book are some of his best ones. The words that go along with each picture, flow very nicely and relate to each corresponding picture. These are really nice to get to start to your child's collection; especially if you want them to appreciate art.
This is a nice board book. Our two year old son loves it. He references the book name, Picnic with Monet, every time we have a picnic. The book has a good ratio of pictures and words with a nice story feel to it. We like that it is Monet artwork on every page. We had the book as part of a three book set in a box, but this book got water damage when we left it out accidentally. We liked it so much we ordered a replacement copy.
A Picnic with Monet has been a blast to read with my little one. She loves the rhymes related to the pictures and we like knowing that she's being exposed to classic art. We also own Quiet Time with Cassatt, which we enjoy, too. Definitely plan to purchase more Mini Masters books
This book is wonderful. The sentences are short and sweet and they rhyme, which catches my little boy's attention. This is one of his bedtime books. Other books in the MiniMaster Series that are just as good are "Quite Time with Cassatt" and "Sharing with Renior". We have all of the books in the series and these three are our favorites.
Can't fault the art, it's a great way to introduce kids to Monet.And the text... well, I can take it or leave it. It sounds trite to my ears, though, so I prefer to leave it.The really bad part about these books is that they're cheaply made. I've had them fall apart on me while other books that we've had longer and that we read more often are in great shape.You can't have a poor-quality board book, it just doesn't work.I can't in good conscience recommend these books to anybody because of that.
