A MUST purchase wordless book. This story shows a city boy who goes into a famous museum. While there he looks at a display and the images come to life for him. They leave his checked in skateboard there and adventure together. He takes them back after awhile and returns home. Wonderful for many ages. ( )

Wordless picture books inspire me so much, and this one was no exception. I feel like the exposure of young kids to art is exactly the inspiration so many of them need. The boy had never been in but took the time to go in, and he was engaged with the art and it brought its own message to him. And he took that message and spread it out into the community. ( )

I've read some of Raúl Colón's other books, including at least one wordless one, but hadn't read this one yet. I don't love his art style, but I acknowledge he's skilled.

The illustration on the boards provides a different view of the Brooklyn Bridge than the illustration on the front of the dust jacket.

This story is a fun depiction of imagination and artistic joy. NYC kids will enjoy recognizing locations of their home city in the pages; art lovers will enjoy recognizing the famous works of art.

I've read 6 wordless picture books today (so far) and this was the first to include an author's note at the end. I appreciated the insight into Colón's background and inspiration. ( )

This is a beautiful wordless picture book that would be fitting for all age groups. It follows a boy that goes through the city and ends up at an art museum. He is looking at all the art, and then the art comes to life and dances with him. The art follows him throughout the day and they all play together. Eventually the main character goes to bed for the night and you can still see the art dancing outside his window. This book encourages creativity and imagination. ( )

This book is a great wordless picture book about a boy who discovers other cultures through art. The main character and all of the other characters that came to life from paintings go through New York exploring and learning ( )
