I went to the museum, and I saw...

Each page features a famous artwork from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, so children can discover apples with Cézanne, poppies with Demuth, and waves with Hokusai.

Each book will have an image of a piece of art, a letter and a headword, and a question prompt for something to spot in the painting, helping the child to observe and relate the artwork to their own experience. With a fun refrain and a memory game at the end, this is a baby art book series that grown-ups will love, too.
