Young children can appreciate fine art too! This precious little board book is perfect for young readers to learn about the well-known French painter Henri Rousseau. The book is a collection of his paintings as the illustrations, accompanied by appealing, rhyming text that relates to each picture, and then ties all the paintings together. It is an informative and beautifully printed book for all aged readers. The artwork is exquisitely reproduced and it even contains a pretty thorough, easy to read, works cited list in the back. It is part of a series of other artists that would be an excellent addition to any classroom or school library. ( )
