Day with Degas

Another delightful addition to author Sima Levy's Meet the Artist series, A Day with Degas introduces children to the impressionist painter's unique techniques-while teaching young readers a few important life lessons in a fun way.

Follow young Paris as she struggles to finish her Degas-like painting of ballerinas and winds up on a wackadoey adventure to France, where she learns the secret behind the famous artist's just-right creations. But can Paris possibly achieve similar results, simply by practicing his methods? Find out in this imaginative rhyming tale that celebrates the artist in each of us.

The book offers a great way to introduce kids to art history, while also sparking their own creativity. Also included is an activity and sing-along song at the website http: //www.mothersartworld.com.
