Seeking Cezanne follows brothers Jamie and Billy on a trip to the museum with their grandmother where they find themselves trapped in a painting and must find Cezanne so he can help them leave. Along their journey they encounter different Cezanne pairings and a few from other artist. With Cezanne's help they are able to return to their grandmother with a better appreciation for art. The book is cute and I really like that images of actual paintings were used as illustrations rather than an artist's interpretation of the partings. Some of the pages have a lot of words on them, so while the vocabulary is simple, younger children may need someone to read it to them. I appreciated that there was information about all the featured works in the back of the book. Thank you to NetGalley and Canoe Tree Press for the ARC.
