A Colorful Tail: Finding Monet at Giverny by Joan Waites
2.0
Thanks to Schiffer Publishing Ltd. and NetGalley for access to this ARC.
This book had me totally on board for the first half. A book about colors that wasn't the same old same old? A book with hidden Monet and butterflies for kids to find and point out? A picture book about an artist that was subtle and calm? But it went pretty off the rails about halfway in. When it comes to fantasy vs reality in picture books I really just want authors to pick a lane and that did not happen here.
