Today is the big day!

Adventurous and passionate Poppy
can’t wait to go to the art museum with her fourth-grade class. All the
different masterpieces are just waiting to be seen. But when Poppy leans a bit
too close to a painting, to her surprise she falls inside! With the help of
some unlikely friends, she must travel from one painting to another in a
colorful quest to get back home.

From famous pieces like American
Gothic
Water LiliesNighthawks, and many
more, Poppy Through the Paintings is a fun and imaginative way
to explore art with kids that will make them want to dive headfirst into
art-just like Poppy!

MY REVIEW

Poppy is so excited. Her fourth grade class is going to the museum and she gets to see lots of paintings by famous artists. There are so many. She really loves one by Van Gogh and leans in to get a closer look. Oh my! She falls into the painting and now she leaps from one to the next, meeting the people in each painting and hoping one will point the way back out.

Author Julie Lucht created a delightful young girl in her character, Poppy. Fearless and curious.  And the illustrations by Dan McGeehan were beautiful. So colorful and wonderous.  The story was a grand adventure. Sure to delight young readers and perhaps instill some curiosity in them when they go to a museum. I wonder what they might imagine when they lean in for a closer look. Maybe an adventure as grand as Poppy’s.

5 STARS
