A very floral introduction to the art of Monet and his Impressionist circle for children ages 5 to 8. Linnea and her neighbor frolic in Monet's garden at Giverny and look at Impressionist paintings in Paris. It's a great primer for kids on their way to Giverny and a gentle first lesson in art history. Nicely illustrated, too.  (FRN312, $16.00)
