Can't fault the art, it's a great way to introduce kids to Monet.

And the text... well, I can take it or leave it. It sounds trite to my ears, though, so I prefer to leave it.

The really bad part about these books is that they're cheaply made. I've had them fall apart on me while other books that we've had longer and that we read more often are in great shape.

You can't have a poor-quality board book, it just doesn't work.

I can't in good conscience recommend these books to anybody because of that. ( )

This is a wonderful introduction to Monet's work for little children. My son asks me to read it all the time. (I don't think having a picture of a train in the book hurts any. hehe) ( )
