Description
Art is for everyone—even a bored little girl.
Going to the Art Museum with her mom is no fun at all for Anna. Everything is old and boring and there are so many rules: Don’t Touch! Do Not Enter! Quiet! A vigilant guard keeps a close eye on the energetic little girl, but even so, Anna manages to set off an alarm and almost tip over a vase.
A half-open door draws Anna’s attention, but the No Entry sign means yet again that it’s off-limits. This time, however, the guard surprises her by inviting her to go in. Here she finds a “secret workshop” where paintings are being cleaned and repaired. Staring out from one of the canvases is a girl who looks grumpy and bored—just like Anna herself. With the realization that art often imitates life, Anna discovers the sheer joy to be had from the paintings on the wall, especially those that reflect what is happening all around her.
Filled with representations of paintings from many world-class galleries, this charming book is the perfect prelude to a child’s first visit to an art museum.

I really liked this story because Anna wasn't bored at the art museum, actually she was quite fascinated by everything, but she kept getting in trouble for getting too close to the artwork. I really liked the character of the guard who gave her an alternative way to appreciate the pieces. Would make a great read-a-loud.

5 ‘Kid Friendly Art History’ Stars!
This book was such a fun, cute read! I read it by myself and then shared it with my 6 year old daughter. We both loved it!
Anna is a rambunctious little girl that is trying to find some fun in an art museum. She gets into a few situations with the museum attendant as she cavorts through with her mom.
I thought this was a great way to introduce kids to art history and some of the greatest pieces of artwork of all time. My daughter loved the pictures and the story. She’s so excited for her first visit to the art museum now.
