So I have never gotten into graphic novels, but this graphic novel/picture book was great. I want to go a museum and get lost in some art like I got lost in this story. Fun!
Fun and evocative illustrations tell a really creative tale. Having no words, we can tell our own version of the story and build on different areas or explore different things that were happening throughout the story. Loved sharing this with my kids and it has been requested at bedtime every night for a week which is a new record for our house!
A fun wordless adventure full of action and humor.
graphic picture book, stepping into paintings of Vermeer.
