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.

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.

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.

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.

We have all books from this series and all of them are amazing. Wonderful and simple poems (not child rhymes), and beautiful pictures. Lovely books for quite times with your child. It's really and excellent way to introduce art to your child.

As an art lover I was so excited to see this book and the others in the series. This one is my favorite, not only because I LOVE Monet, but because the rhymes are well written and go great with the paintings!! This book is a great way to share your love of art with little ones. This is my favorite baby gift to give at showers!! My four year old still gets it out and asks about the paintings and we try to read it together!!!

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.

A cute book with great pictures, great rhymes, and it feels good to know that it is educational too. Never too early to appreciate great art!

The art is beautiful and the rhyming prose is well written and entertaining. This was our favorite book in the Mini Masters series.

Beautiful pictures, a peaceful read. Leave this one out on your coffee table; kids won't be the only ones who love it!
